Can Gout Herbal Medicine Help You?
By Lisa McDowell
When the pain of gout is overwhelming, and it seems that
nothing appears to be helping, trying alternative treatments to
see if those might offer come relief is usually the next step. A
change in diet is always a great idea for managing gout, but it
doesn’t always take away the pain immediately. When looking for
new treatments, you may have to follow a rather untraditional
route, but that doesn’t mean traditional medicine can not help
you. You can try gout herbal medicine to see if that helps, but
you should always do so under the supervision of your doctor.
One type of gout herbal medicine that has shown some success
for gout sufferers is Devil’s Claw. This natural remedy has been
used for many years as it helps with many different things that
can go wrong with the body. One of its best properties is that
it can lower the amounts of uric acid in the body, and that
means it can be a preventative measure to ward of future gout
attacks. However, it can also help take away some of the pain
associated with a gout attack in full swing, so it can also be
used when the pain creeps up on you and you find yourself in the
middle of a bad flare up.
Bilberry can be helpful, as it can also lower uric acid levels
in the body. It is also thought to protect some of the tissues
from degeneration, which can help with pain and healing.
Juniper Berry comes in capsule or liquid form, and also works
to reduce uric acid.
There is a gout herbal medicine called Nettle Root that is
supposed to help the kidneys work better so they can more
effectively remove the uric acid in the body, and that helps
keep gout attacks to a minimum.
There is one gout herbal medicine that you won’t need to talk
to your doctor about, and they may even suggest it to you. Some
berries and fruits have great properties, and one of those
properties has to do with lowering the amounts of gout inducing
uric acid. Cherries are often touted as the best of these, and
you could try eating at least a half of a pound a day to see if
that helps you. Give it a week or two before deciding if it is
working. If you don’t like cherries, you can try blueberries,
black berries, and many of the other darker colored berries.
They might not be as good as cherries, but they can help you.
Alternatively try a cherry extract supplement for the same
protective effect.
Other than the fruit, you ought to talk with your medical
doctor about any gout herbal medicine that you want to try. Some
of them can have side effects of which you might not be aware
of, and may interact or interfere with any medications that you
might be taking. Natural and herbal remedies do work, and they
may work well for you, but it pays to check that they are safe
to take in your particular situation. When someone mentions
herbs, most naturally assume that they are safe because they are
from nature, but that is simply not the case. Talk with your
doctor first, and go from there when choosing which approach you
would like to take first.
