The main way to control gout is to reduce uric acid production and promote uric acid excretion. Plantain does have the effect of clearing heat and diuresis, and it really helps to excrete uric acid. But it doesn't mean that only plantain can deal with gout.
The side effects of plantain, whether traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, should be considered when choosing to use it. Plantain is cold and has a strong heat-clearing effect. People with weak spleen and stomach should eat less. Plantain, as a traditional Chinese medicine for diuresis and stranguria, often increases the burden on the kidney. Please do not use it in large quantities for a long time. As for the use of Chinese medicine, once again, don't use Chinese medicine casually without the guidance of a doctor.
In the literature of treating gout with plantain, there is no case report of directly treating gout with plantain. However, Bian Xiao found five patents on the preparation methods of gout drugs. Among these five patents, there is plantain, which makes use of the diuretic effect of plantain. However, each preparation method also contains several or even a dozen other drugs, such as Angelica sinensis and Poria. Only when these drugs cooperate with each other can we achieve the effect of reducing acid.
Better ways to increase excretion Although drinking too much water will also increase the burden on the kidneys, it is a better way to increase excretion than taking drugs. If uric acid is not very high, you can appropriately increase the amount of drinking water to promote excretion. In addition, you can also eat some highland barley, melon, cabbage and other foods, all of which have diuretic effect.
If uric acid is high, it is necessary to take drugs that inhibit uric acid production and promote uric acid excretion reasonably under the guidance of doctors, and evaluate liver and kidney function in time.
