Introduction

Gout, also known as migratory arthritis, results from a long term disorder in purine metabolism. It is characterized by, high lithemia, repeated attacks of acute arthritis, sedimentation of gouty tophus, chronic arthritis with articular deformity, lesion of the kidney parenchyma, and formation of urate calculus. Based on an increase of uric acid in the blood as the cause, the disease can also be divided into two types: primary and secondary gout. Gout belongs to the category of "bi-syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Etiology/Pathogenesis

Gout often results from a blockage of meridians and a lethargic flow of qi and blood induced by exogenous pathogens, which cause arthralgia, myalgia, numbness, heaviness, joint stiffness, etc. At the early stage, gout belongs to excess-syndrome. As the disease advances, it will turn a type of deficiency syndrome mixed with excess-syndrome due to weakness of body resistance and domination of pathogens. If it is not treated for a long period of time, the circulation of qi and blood will be hindered, stagnation of blood vessels, and accumulation of body fluid will appear, leading to a blockage of meridians by blood stasis and phlegm. As a result, arthrocele and ecchymosis can occur, as well as the nodes around the joints can become stiff.

After 3 weeks' treatment, both the total effectiveness rate and the significant effectiveness rate of the treatment group were superior to those of control group (P < 0.05 & P< 0.01). The results indicated that warm water bath could only relieve arthralgia, while medicated bath was capable of controlling clinical symptoms, and significantly lowering blood uric acid and blood sedimentation. In addition, the medicated bath had no side effects on the digestive system like the routinely used drugs for treating gout.(7)

The name of the disease is not what concerns the person who treats the patient holistically, for they are looking at the die-ease in the patient, not the gout.
