Herbs to Treat Gout Problems

 

Gout is mostly a hereditary disease, but can also be caused in the individual due to excess alcohol addiction or overdose of medicines such as aspirin, niacin containing drugs, etc. Men are generally more likely to have gout problems.

The primary reason, however, is the presence of uric acid in the body. Rising uric acid levels simply do not lead to gout, but once they start forming crystals in the body they would easily cause gout problems.

Treating Gout Problem with Chinese Treatment and Herbs

The Chinese method of treatment, better known as the Traditional Chinese Medicine [TCM] methodology, is an effective process to help eliminate gout problems. This method of treatment observes the pattern of problem experiences by the patient and thereby diagnoses and makes effort to treat the same. The pattern, once recognized, is dealt with specific Chinese treatment methods, herbal formulae, etc.

There are several different and distinct methods of treatment and specific herbs as well to treat each set of symptoms or patterns identified in the respective individual. Given below are some of the Chinese treatment methods and few details of the usage of herbs:
