Homeopathy Medicines for Gout (Inflammatory Arthritis)

Gout is a painful form of arthritis. When your body has extra uric acid, sharp crystals may form in the big toe or other joints, causing episodes of swelling and pain called gout attacks.

Who is affected by gout?

Gout can affect anyone. It usually occurs earlier in men than women. It generally occurs after menopause in women. Men can be three times more likely than women to get it because they have higher levels of uric acid most of their lives. Women reach these uric acid levels after menopause.

People are more likely to get gout if they have:

• Overweight/obesity
• Congestive heart failure
• Diabetes
• Family history of gout
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Kidney disease

You are also more likely to develop gout if you:

• Consume a diet high in animal proteins.
• Consume a significant amount of alcohol.
• Are on water pills (diuretics).

Symptoms

An episode of gout is called a gout attack. Gout attacks are very painful and can happen quite suddenly, often overnight. During a gout attack, symptoms in the affected joints may include:

• Intense pain.
• Redness.
• Stiffness.
• Swelling.
• Tenderness, even to light touch, such as from a bedsheet.
• Warmth, or a feeling like the joint is “on fire.”
