Understanding the Root Cause
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. Related conditions such as Arthritis & Joint Pain, Knee Pain, IBS, and Weight Loss may also reflect underlying imbalances in digestion, circulation, and inflammation, which is why TCM treatment focuses on restoring internal balance and supporting long term wellbeing.
