Gout is considered by modern medicine to be a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder and uric acid excretion disorder.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is due to damp-heat descending blocking meridians, and qi and blood are not running smoothly, resulting in swelling, pain and unfavorable flexion and extension of joints and muscles.
Interpretation of prescription and medicine
This prescription is derived from Simiao Pill, a classic ancient prescription for treating gout. Simiao Pill (Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Atractylodis, Coicis Semen, Achyranthes bidentata) is a famous prescription for treating gout, which is summarized by the ancients after thousands of years of experience. I regard this prescription as the monarch medicine. Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae and Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae have the effects of clearing away dampness and heat, dredging joints, removing arthralgia and relieving pain, so they are used as ministers. Long-term illness will lead to blood stasis, but the pain will not work. Therefore, in addition to the drugs for clearing away dampness and heat, some drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging meridians and activating collaterals should be used. Sumu and Lycopi can not only promote blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but also relieve swelling and pain, so they are very suitable for gout, so they are used as the drugs. Alisma orientalis is good at expelling heat and facilitating urination. Rhubarb purges the stool, which can make damp heat (uric acid) excreted from the stool. It can be said that it is a radical measure, and the two drugs are used together as the medicine. When all the medicines are used together, the damp heat can be cleared, the swelling and pain can be eliminated, and the disease will be cured! This prescription has been used clinically by Dr. Fu Jihua for many years, and the curative effect is excellent, so you can use it with confidence!
Note: rhubarb is cold, diarrhea, heat and laxative, and should not be taken for a long time. Young people can take it for the first seven days, remove rhubarb after seven days, and continue to use other drugs. The elderly and the weak can not use rhubarb.
