Gout (Holistic)

About This Condition

The ache in your toe may be enough to knock you off your feet. Gout, a form of arthritis, often strikes without warning. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Check out cherries

    Soothe symptoms and prevent new attacks by eating a half a pound of cherries or drinking an equivalent amount of cherry juice per day

  • Rest for relief

    During acute attacks, rest the affected part to reduce pain and inflammation

  • Pass up high-purine foods

    To keep uric acid levels low, eat fewer purine-containing foods, such as liver, shrimp, and dried beans and pulses

  • Put a limit on alcohol

    To help prevent new attacks, avoid drinking more than one alcoholic beverage a day
