Gout is a painful condition that many have to live with. Traditional medicine can help by prescribing medication to reduce the pain and discomfort, but this just treats the symptom.
Homeopathy is said to get to the root cause of gout, and help provide a natural solution. As with any treatment, always seek the advice of a professional when considering this alternative treatment for gout.
This article discusses the causes of gout and provides insight into how homeopathy can help. If you think this is helpful, please share with friends!
For years Gout had been referred as a rich man’s disease. Not any more. Gout is a man’s disease. It occurs about 90% more in men than in women.
An attack of gout occurs when excess uric acid is deposited in a joint and forms crystals. The joint treats these crystals as foreign invaders. To fight the invaders, the joint sounds out signals that it needs help. The body makes more white blood cells, which are delivered to the joint through the blood stream. These white cells release chemicals that cause inflammation, swelling and pain.
Uric acid results when purines, a group of chemicals present in all body tissues and many foods, are broken down. It has no useful function in the human body.
While gout can affect a number of joints, it most commonly affects the big toe. Consumption of alcoholic beverages – particularly beer – has been linked to gout flares. While people who don’t drink beer can still get gout, studies have shown that those who do drink beer are more likely to suffer from attacks.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to gout attacks, including high uric acid levels greater than 6 mg/dL and consumption of alcohol. Taking steps like getting your uric acid levels checked regularly and avoiding trigger foods and drinks, like red meat and alcohol, can help to reduce future attacks.
While allopathic medicine only prescribes pain killers it does not get down to the root cause.
Homeopathy works well here. It gets to the root cause and helps you bounce back to good health. A thorough case taking by a homeopath is necessary to arrive at the right remedy. Some of the remedies that work for gout are
