Gout and Homeopathy

Condition:

Gout is considered one of the most intensely painful types of arthritis. Gout is characterized by sudden onset of severe pain, tenderness, warmth, redness, and swelling from inflammation of the affected joint. Gout usually affects a single joint and most often the big toe is affected. The knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, and elbow may also be affected.

Suggested Homeopathic Medicines:

For acute attack -URTICA URENS tincture 5 drops every 4 hours in a glass of hot water.

If inflammation rapidly shifts from joint to joint, use COLCHICUM (low potency) every 2 hours or PULSATILLA in the same way. For more chronic forms LEDUM is very effective.
