Du's physician originated from Du Xingrang (1849— 1928) in Dujia Village, northwest of Fugou County, Henan Province in the late Qing Dynasty. Du Xing studied private schools in his early years, then became a Buddhist, converted to Zhongyue Shaolin Temple, met a hermit, and taught Du medical skills. Du Lizhi studied medicine. After returning to China, he familiarized himself with medical books such as Neijing and Materia Medica. After decades of clinical practice, he became a local famous doctor. Especially proficient in surgery, he has a good research on joint pain, numbness and gout in the elderly. Lao Du's secret recipe for gout has been continuously improved for several generations and has been recognized by the general public.

Professor Du Jingyuan, the fifth generation descendant of Du family and winner of the special allowance of the State Council, has developed the first external patch for treating gout in China-Golden Snake Gout Patch, which is used for joint pain and numbness caused by various osteoarthritis, and the effect is good. It also has a good clinical effect on joint pain, numbness, redness and fever caused by gout.
