To understand whether plantain can really reduce uric acid, we must first know what is uric acid , what is high uric acid, what is the harm of high uric acid, how to reduce uric acid, and what is plantain and what does it do? . Knowing this, then the answer will naturally be clear.
What is high uric acid?
You must know that uric acid is the main product of metabolizing in human body, mainly because generates after purine metabolizes , which is the final product of purine metabolism, soluble in water, and easy to crystallize. It can be excreted through urine and feces. Generally speaking, the amount of uric acid in the body is in the process of dynamic equilibrium, that is, the amount of uric acid generated is the same as the amount of uric acid excreted, and there will be no excessive or low uric acid. . However, if uric acid excretion is hindered in , or if produces too much uric acid in , the dynamic balance process of uric acid is disrupted, which will lead to excessive uric acid. If exceeds the medically defined normal value, it is so-called hyperuricemia.
Why does high uric acid occur?
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in the body. There are two sources of purine in the human body: one is endogenous purine, mainly through self-synthesis and nucleic acid decomposition, accounting for 80% of the daily production of uric acid in the body; the other is exogenous purine, mainly from dietary intake Intake of purines accounts for 20% of the daily production of uric acid in the body. However, about 2/3 of the uric acid produced by is metabolized by the kidneys, 1/3 of the uric acid is metabolized by the intestines, and a very small amount of uric acid is excreted through the sweat glands. The factors that cause high uric acid in are either more uric acid production or reduced uric acid excretion, of course, it can be both. , such as the well-known high-purine diet, is an important factor that leads to more uric acid production.In addition, there are some diseases that can lead to the excretion of uric acid, which will not be described too much here.
What is the harm of high uric acid?
Uric acid is slightly soluble in water and has the characteristics of easy crystallization, so the concentration has a great influence on uric acid. If the uric acid value of in the body is too high, uric acid will crystallize, and it will lead to uric acid crystals Precipitation in the joints in the body, resulting in crystal-related arthritis, redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, which is what we call [gout ]. If is deposited in the kidney, it is kidney crystal . Long-term hyperuricemia will cause the kidney crystal to gradually increase and evolve into [kidney stone] . How does
reduce uric acid?
For friends with high uric acid, reducing uric acid mainly starts from two aspects, one is to reduce the production of uric acid, and the other is to promote the excretion of uric acid. reduces the production of uric acid, on the one hand, reducing the intake of high-purine foods, and on the other hand, using some drugs that inhibit purine production. Promote uric acid metabolism, mainly through exercise, drinking water, etc. to promote the body's metabolism, and at the same time cooperate with drugs that promote uric acid metabolism. (There is no specific drug involved here. If you have any questions, you can leave a message in the comment area for consultation.)
Next, we will learn about plantain
what is plantain
plantain is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, and it comes from the properties of traditional Chinese medicine It is said that plantain has the functions of clearing heat, diuresis, and drenching. has a good therapeutic effect on edema , oliguria and urination astringent embolism caused by urinary tract infection. However, there are no relevant reports that plantain can reduce uric acid.However, a friend also told me that after discovering that gout has high uric acid, he used plantain to boil water and drink it, and he never suffered from gout again after that. However, due to the lack of relevant evidence to prove that plantain can indeed reduce uric acid, it will not be clearly stated here.
What can be speculated at present is that plantain has the effect of diuretic and drenching, which itself will increase the urine output , will there be an increase in the urine output, which will increase the excretion of uric acid, which may have the effect of lowering uric acid Woolen cloth?
However, there are related reports that [Plantago ] can be used with Qinpi , Qinji (jiao), Achyranthes , Rehmannia glutinosa , Papaya , Honeysuckle vine, Achyranthes decoction can be used Effective in the treatment of gout.
