Gout is a disease of the joints, characterized by sudden attacks of severe joint inflammation, in which they become swollen, red and very painful. The cause does not lie in the joints, but in the blood. It is due to a raised blood level of a substance called uric acid. Uric acid is a natural substance that results from the breakdown of food. This waste product is excreted in the urine. Certain conditions can arise that may lead to the accumulation of uric acid in the body. As the level rises, uric acid find its way into joints and crystallizes there. The crystalline form of uric acid can trigger gout attacks. Uric acid can also accumulate in other parts of the body such as the earlobes, elbows or ankles.

Ayurveda and Gout

A variety of herbs are used in Ayurveda to alleviate gout, said Dr Vikram Chauhan. These are often applied externally or ingested. Some of these herbs includes the Nirgundi, Aloe vera, Guggul and Ashwagandha. Healing gout includes decreasing the production of uric acid and increasing its excretion in the urine. A vegetarian diet is recommended. Celery seed, for instance, helps to dissolve urates, while dandelion leaves helps to eliminate them in the urine.

A dose of 30 to 40 ml of a tincture of celery seed and 30 to 40 ml of dandelion leaf extract can be taken weekly, and divided into doses to be taken three times daily. An herbal decoction of the following herbal combination called Navkarshik churna can be taken three times a day.

These herbs act together and are effective in swollen, inflamed and painful joints.
