“Tea can cure gout” this claim lacks reliable scientific basis. Gout is due to abnormal purine metabolism so that urate deposition in the joint capsule, cartilage and bone and other parts of the inflammatory reaction caused by the acute attack can cause patients with joint pain, joint swelling and fever and other symptoms. Gout treatment to colchicine, ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and such as benzbromarone and other uric acid-lowering drugs and other medications, tea can not play an effective therapeutic role in gout. Although tea can not treat gout, but tea can make gout patients daily water intake increased to promote uric acid excretion, so gout patients can drink appropriate light tea, in addition to this should also pay attention to avoid drinking wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages, avoid high-purine diet, and comply with the doctor’s instructions to take medication to correct the hyperuricemia. Gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and standardized treatment in accordance with medical advice.
