How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views gout as Dampness, Heat, and Blood Stasis obstructing joints, with Spleen dysfunction and Liver Qi stagnation contributing to poor metabolism and inflammation.
Gout is a painful inflammatory condition that causes sudden, severe joint pain, swelling, and redness, particularly in the feet and hands, significantly affecting mobility and quality of life during acute attacks. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to address the underlying metabolic imbalances contributing to gout, reduce inflammation naturally, and prevent future flare-ups through comprehensive treatment approaches that support healthy joint function.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), gout is commonly associated with Dampness, Heat, and Blood Stasis obstructing the joints and causing painful inflammation. Spleen dysfunction may contribute to poor fluid metabolism causing Dampness accumulation, while Liver Qi stagnation can worsen Blood Stasis, and the accumulation of Turbid Phlegm and Heat further aggravates joint inflammation.
