Gout is considered a type of arthritis in traditional Chinese medicine.
It often accompanies phlegm and dampness and is considered a disease of affluence.
People who consume a lot of fatty and rich foods and like to drink are more prone to gout.
From the perspective of Western medicine, gout patients actually have high levels of uric acid in their blood, leading to the formation of crystals, commonly known as gout stones, in the joints.
However, gout is not difficult to treat.
In the early stages of the disease, as long as one controls their diet well, eats less fatty and seafood, restricts alcohol consumption, and combines this with medication, they can be cured quickly.
Therefore, the key to treating gout lies in dietary control!
But if the patient does not control their diet and continues to indulge, the gout will become more severe and may even lead to kidney gout.
