Gout is a painful metabolic disease resulting in inflammation and the deposition of uric acid in the cartilages of the joints. Gout first affects the big toe causing it to swell and become very painful. In the next stages it spreads to the ankles, knees, joints of hands and feet, the wrist and elbow.

✅ Causes

Normally, uric acid dissolves and goes through the urine via the kidneys. But if the body is producing too much uric acid or if the body is not excreting enough uric acid, it starts accumulating in the body. This build-up results in the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals. When they accumulate in the joints or surrounding tissues, it causes pain, inflammation, and swelling.

🔬 Symptoms

• Fever
• Swelling
• Pricking pain
• Itching
• Burning sensation
• Swollen joints
• Change of color of the skin
• Pain and redness in the small joints of the body

⚠️ Other Disease Manifestations

Gout and increased uric acid levels in the blood are often associated with high BP, obesity, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart diseases, etc.

🔬 Investigations

Serum urate level increase is appreciable. But it is not only the diagnostic criterion. The clinical symptoms should also be taken into consideration.

🌿 Ayurvedic View

In Ayurveda, gout is known as Vatarakt, as the main dosha involved is vata and it affects rakt dhatu. Vitiation (impairment) of vata dosha and rakt dhatu is caused by increased intake of spicy, sour, salty, alkaline, heavy, and penetrating foods. The impaired doshas travel through the channels of the body and get accumulated at the smaller joints causing damage to the tissues and bones of the joint resulting in vatarakt.

Excessive anger, waking up late at night, sleeping in the daytime, excessive traveling, trauma, overindulgence in physical exercises, excessive sexual activity, and suppressing the natural urges of the body can also lead to gout.

💊 Treatment of Gout

In terms of treatment, the first choice is for treatment via an alteration of dietary regimen. Low oxalate and low-uric acid forming foods and a low meat diet are encouraged. High fiber, low protein foods should be emphasized, old rice (but not fresh rice). It is critical in the treatment of Gout that the patient is kept well hydrated.

Ayurvedic treatment for gout comprises herbal medicines that help the body eliminate uric acid and herbs and therapies aimed at reducing the inflammation.

• Tailadhara (pouring medicated oil on the affected part)
