Homeopathic Medicines for Gout

Homeopathic Treatment of Gout

When the joints start hurting and get swollen, turning red, it is an indication of Gout, or inflammatory arthritis. It is a result of high uric acid levels in the blood. There is a build-up of urate crystals in and around the joints. The increased uric acid levels are either due to too much production of uric acid in the body or decreased excretion of uric acid by the kidneys. Taking a purine-rich diet also raises the uric acid levels in blood. Uric acid is produced from the breakdown of purine. The major food products rich in purine are meat, fish, lentils, spinach, peas, cauliflower, beans and mushrooms. Alcohol consumption also raises uric acid levels by slowing down the elimination of uric acid. The Homeopathic mode of treatment provides a completely safe and very beneficial cure for Gout. The Homeopathic remedies, which are sourced from natural substances, bring down the uric acid levels and have no side-effects.

Symptoms of Gout

The major symptoms of Gout are redness, swelling, pain, heat and tenderness of the affected joint. In majority of cases, the big toe is affected by Gout. Other joints commonly involved in Gout are heels, knees, wrists and fingers. Prolonged high uric acid levels may result in formation of Tophi – hard nodes from monosodium urate crystal deposits around joints. High uric acid levels can also result in formation of stones in kidney.

Homeopathic Mode of Treatment in Gout

The Homeopathic mode is very effective for the treatment of acute as well as chronic Gout. The natural Homeopathic remedies help to reduce the high uric acid levels by working towards elimination and preventing accumulation. Alongside, the Homeopathic medicines provide relief from the symptoms. Even in cases where nodes have formed over the joint from prolonged elevated uric acid levels, Homeopathy offers great help. The natural remedies are also very beneficial when kidney stones get formed from high uric acid levels.
