Gout is a disease in which the defective metabolism of uric acid causes arthritis, deposition of chalkstones, and episodes of acute pain.

Gout happens when uric acid levels become elevated and then collects in one or more joints in the form of sharp crystals. These elevated levels of uric acid crystals occurr most commonly in the big toe, feet, ankles, fingers, wrists, knees or elbows.

No matter how mild or severe your gout is, you want to be rid of it as soon as possible. However, to get back to normal you must address the root cause of gout: High Uric Acid Levels.

These jagged crystals literally stab the soft tissues around the joint causing the pain, swelling, and inflammation. The immune system then sends in white blood cells, which are ripped open by the sharp uric acid crystals, causing even greater pain and inflammation.

When left untreated, uric acid continues to collect in the joints and gout attacks tend to get worse and worse over time.

Commonly used medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, or corticosteroids. These reduce inflammation and pain in the areas affected by gout and are usually taken orally.

Medications can also be used to either reduce the production of uric acid (xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as allopurinol) or improve the kidney's ability to remove uric acid from the body (probenecid).

Yes, many well-informed Gout sufferers have turned to natural remedies to help balance Uric Acid levels and regain control over gout-related symptoms.

These natural remedies are often used in order to avoid the cost, inconvenience, and side effects of prescription gout drugs. It is important to always do your research about any natural remedy you may try so you can make an informed decision about your health.
