Can gout, often described as so painful that even a gentle breeze causes agony, be treated with traditional Korean medicine?

Gout is a "damp-heat (toxin)" mass that forms due to the accumulation of uric acid. During the acute phase, we control the pain with bee venom acupuncture, and afterwards, we provide root cause treatment by strengthening kidney function to enable effective excretion of uric acid.

맥주와 치킨 등으로 인해 발생하는 현대판 '부자병'이라 불리는 질환입니다.

  • 식이: 퓨린 함량이 높은 맥주, 내장탕, 등푸른 생선, 붉은 고기 섭취를 피하시기 바랍니다.
  • 수분: 하루 2리터 이상의 물을 충분히 마셔 요산을 소변으로 원활하게 배출해야 합니다.
  • 체중: 비만은 통풍을 악화시키는 주요 원인입니다. 체중을 감량하면 요산 수치도 함께 낮아집니다.
⚠️ 진통제 의존 주의

진통제에만 의존하며 음주를 지속할 경우, 신장 기능이 손상되어 투석까지 이어질 수 있습니다. 반드시 생활 습관을 교정해야 합니다.
