Is plantain really a magic weapon to deal with gout?

Plantain has a certain therapeutic effect on gout, but it is not a magic weapon and should not be used blindly. And its curative effect on gout is considered from its diuretic, lithagogue and nephritis. For the common grass in rural areas, it is a cost-effective drug for treating gout, but it is not a specific drug. The specific analysis is as follows:

First, plantain has diuretic effect, which can promote the excretion of uric acid and reduce uric acid. It is used as a medicinal fresh grass. Plantain is a common diuretic herb, and the cause of gout is mostly high uric acid. The diuretic properties of plantain can excrete uric acid, and it is indeed possible to treat gout with boiled water, but only fresh grass has an effect. Many online stores sell hay at a great discount. As far as fresh grass is concerned, there is no systematic supply chain, so there are few cases that can be bought.

However, when the hay plantain is boiled in water, it takes a long time to have diuretic effect. Generally, after the water is boiled for 20 minutes, the light yellow plantain tea with yellow-green color should be boiled, and in the dry medicine, no flowers are better.

Second, plantain has therapeutic effect on early gout caused by nephritis. Plantain also has therapeutic effect on nephritis. Some nephritis is also caused by high uric acid. In the treatment, the whole plant of Plantago asiatica is used, in which the root is the most important, followed by the leaf. However, the efficacy of plantain roots needs to reach the best stage at flowering. Therefore, young plantain is ineffective.

Most of the prescriptions for nephritis are used together with other drugs. For nephritis, using plantain alone is actually of little use. When nephritis has developed, we can't blindly try unilateral treatment, but need professional medical staff to prescribe and match it. Therefore, although nephritis can be cured, it cannot be cured unilaterally.

Thirdly, plantain is a commonly used stone medicine, which has therapeutic effect on calculous gout. Plantain and Lysimachia christinae are both important drugs for treating kidney calculi. When they are used, they are also used successfully. But when processing, it is no longer dried, but? Fuck? There is a difference between sun-drying and roasting, but now the processing of medicinal materials is not systematic. Many medicines can be sold to pharmacies by sun-drying in Nong Gang. Baking? 、? Braised? 、? Cooking? People who grow drugs don't know much about this technology, which is also the reason why some effects of traditional Chinese medicine are discounted.

Plantain is still widely used in lithiasis, especially in Chinese medicine hospitals all over the country, which have almost reached the necessary field, but the processing of Chinese herbal medicines is mostly dehydration? Fuck? The main reason is that other scientific and technological functions are unknown to everyone, which also increases the consumption of plantain.

Generally speaking, although plantain has a certain effect on gout, it is not a panacea, and professionals should prescribe it. Blind use is not advisable.
