Features: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in men over forty. During an attack, it often causes excruciating pain. In severe cases, it can even lead to a lifetime of dialysis. To stay away from the disease, rely on traditional Chinese and Western medicine to create a better life for you! For gout patients, it is urgent to control uric acid within the normal range, not just relieve pain. Clearing blood uric acid and strengthening urine alkalization can prevent uric acid from accumulating in the kidneys. It has muscle relaxation effects, can cause local blood vessels to contract, reduce local congestion and edema, and can alkalize urine to reduce the occurrence of uric acid stones. Currently, Chinese medicine for treating gout is still under continuous research and development. Therefore, taking medicine patiently, controlling diet, exercising appropriately, and long-term follow-up are the keys to treatment, helping you stay away from the shadow of gout in a culture of excessive drinking and eating. Over the years, the author has deeply experienced the etiology, pathology, and treatment of gout through clinical treatment and prevention in both Chinese and Western medicine. To help the public better understand and recognize this disease, the text of this book is written in a life-oriented style—new, fast, practical, and concise—so that it is easier to overcome the disease and learn how to maintain health and well-being, avoiding excessive eating and drinking, and preventing gout from ever affecting you.
