Causes of gout
According to traditional Chinese medicine, gout is caused by a mixture of wind, cold, dampness, and heat. It is also caused by improper diet, overindulgence in fatty and thick-flavored foods, internal dampness and heat, obstruction of meridians and collaterals, stasis of blood, flowing into the joints, and accumulation in the muscles, tendons, and bones. The disease occurs when the meridians and collaterals are not unobstructed.
Alcohol consumption is a common cause of gout, which is more common in obese people. It is characterized by severe joint pain and limited mobility, sometimes accompanied by fever.
