Gout is a disease that primarily effects the joints. Deposits on joints can make virtually any movement painful. It is caused by a high level of uric acid in the system and effects primarily men in their 40′s. There may be a hereditary contributor.

Gout can happen in the ankles, knees, hands, wrists, or elbows, but most commonly occurs at the inner most joint of the big toe.

Below are a couple herbal remedies for gout that may help you get rid of the pain.

One of the herbal remedies for gout from the aromatherapy philosophy is to soak your foot (assuming it is gout in the big toe area) in a foot bath to ease the pain and stimulate circulation. Pine, rosemary, or juniper oil are added to warm water to create the foot bath.

To address the root cause, you should drink lots of water to flush out your system. You can also help cleanse your system with things like celery seed tea. Nettle tea may also help prevent attacks.

Gout can be a painful and debilitating disease. If you are intent on using herbal remedies, make sure you do more research. I recommend checking out Native Remedies and their herbal remedies for gout and joint pain like Gout Gone.

If you have severe pain, you may want to check with your doctor on the best ways to get relief. They may recommend surgery, but if you can get something to help you with severe pain, you can give the herbal remedies for gout a chance to work.
