Gout is a disease characterized by disorders of purine metabolism and reduced uric acid excretion, and is mainly characterized by pain in the metatarsophalangeal and ankle joints. In Chinese medicine, the cause of gout can be attributed to wind, cold and dampness, wind, dampness and heat, paralysis of the meridians and channels, resulting in blockage of the meridians and channels, and congestion of qi and blood, or it can also be caused by a lack of liver and kidney due to a prolonged illness, resulting in a lack of moistening of the tendons and veins. The pain may also be caused by phlegm and dampness or blood stasis, blocking the meridians. Therefore, the specific treatment is mainly to remove wind and dampness, clear heat and dampness, invigorate the blood and promote blood circulation, strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm, and nourish the liver and kidney. In addition, the daily diet of gout patients needs to be low purine drink, avoid eating animal offal, drinking alcohol, soy products, seafood, etc.
