Gout gets its name from two interpretations. The first suggests that during an attack, even a breeze can cause pain when it touches the skin.

Gout is a disease caused by uric acid metabolism disorder. Currently, Western medicine has issues with drug dependence in the treatment of gout, as well as rebound and relapse after stopping medication and side effects.

If there's one kind of pain in life that's unbearable, gout would certainly be on the list.

Even in ancient times, this was the case. Of course, the term "gout" was rarely heard of by the ancients. So, what did they call it then? It was referred to as "foot qi disease" or "white tiger disease."

Intense exercise or prolonged muscle activity can accelerate the body's metabolism, leading to increased uric acid production; strenuous or long-term exercise, especially in high-temperature environments,
