“Lok-Kwan gave me one treatment for my gout and the result was amazing! I can’t believe it, I am flabbergasted! The swelling and pain is all gone. How did this happen?”
The combination of acupuncture and herbs is a very effective treatment for gout. Gout is a common type of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the body. When levels of this acid become too high, it forms sharp, needle-like crystals that collect in the joints, most frequently at the base of the big toe. These crystals trigger sudden and intense attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and warmth, often occurring at night. While diet and lifestyle factors like alcohol and red meat consumption contribute to the risk, genetics is also a major driver of the condition.
