Gout belongs to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine, which is a disease caused by high blood uric acid level leading to uric acid crystals deposited in the joints. At present, there is no sufficient scientific evidence to prove that Chinese herbal tea can treat gout. Treatment of gout includes general treatment, medication and surgery.
General treatment: First of all, we should reduce the intake of high-purine foods, such as offal and seafood. Drinking more water and urinating regularly can promote the excretion of uric acid, thus reducing the level of blood uric acid. Weight control and proper exercise are helpful in the treatment of gout.
Medication: The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac, can effectively relieve pain during gout attacks. Drugs such as Febuxostat, which can reduce the synthesis of uric acid, and Benzbromarone, which promotes the excretion of uric acid, can help treat gout.
Surgery: If the gout stone presses on the nerves, joints show severe deformity or infection and other symptoms, timely surgery is needed to remove the gout stone.
At present, there is no sufficient evidence to show that the Chinese medicine tea drink can treat gout, patients suffering from gout need to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
