Gout is mostly attributed to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine, and dampness is its important disease mechanism, so you can generally drink Chenpi water, but the efficacy of using Chenpi water alone is insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve the therapeutic effect.
Paralysis is mostly caused by wind, cold, dampness, phlegm, stasis and other pathogens staying in the meridians, muscles, joints and other parts of the body, in which dampness is often combined with other pathogens and exists.
Chenpi has the function of regulating qi and strengthening spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm (expelling dampness and resolving phlegm by drying dampness), and can be used in cases of distension and fullness in the epigastrium (abdomen), low food intake and vomiting and diarrhea, and coughing with excessive phlegm, etc. Its contraindications and adverse reactions are not clear. Therefore, Chen Pi has certain effect on paralysis caused by dampness paralysis.
However, Chen Pi can only dispel phlegm, while paralysis such as wind-cold-damp paralysis, wind-damp-heat paralysis (often manifested as burning, pain, redness and swelling of joints and muscles) or phlegm and blood stasis stagnation, liver and kidney deficiency, etc., the mechanism of the disease is more complex, so only Chen Pi’s effectiveness is insufficient, and other medicines should be used together to treat the symptoms.
It is recommended to use Chen Pi under the diagnosis of Chinese medicine doctors. It is recommended that gout sufferers should consult a professional doctor in time for diagnosis and treatment.
