The attack of gout is inseparable from uric acid. Uric acid in blood exists in the form of sodium salt. Under normal circumstances, the kidney will metabolize excess uric acid out of the body to maintain the balance of uric acid in the body. However, if uric acid is always in an excessive state, this balance will be broken.

Excessive uric acid is no longer excreted, but forms uric acid crystals, which are deposited in joint tissues, kidneys and other organs, causing damage to joints and kidneys. Once the kidney is damaged, it will aggravate the deposition of uric acid and form a vicious circle, thus inducing gout and making people miserable.

To treat gout, the first thing to do is to reduce the concentration of uric acid in the body. Soda can be used with plantain.

Specific methods: ① Soda: choose tablets, take orally 1~3 tablets/day, 2~3 times a day, or consult a doctor; ② Plantago asiatica: 20g (dried in the sun) of Plantago asiatica, add 3 bowls of water (about 750ml), fry with slow fire until 1 bowl of water remains, pour out and drink, once a day, add soda, and drink continuously.

Pharmacology: ① Soda (alkaline): Uric acid solution can be neutralized by acid and alkali to improve the solubility of uric acid. ② Plantago asiatica: It has the effects of clearing heat, eliminating dampness and diuresis, and can promote uric acid metabolism; ③ Soda combined with uric acid can promote excretion and reduce uric acid concentration.
