What is a good home remedy for gout flair ups

Hello Anonymoua,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

Gout is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints, often the joint at the base of the big toe.

Gout — a complex form of arthritis — can affect anyone. Men are more likely to get gout, but women become increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause.

Medications are the most proven, effective way to treat gout symptoms. However, making certain lifestyle changes also may help, such as:

Limiting alcoholic beverages and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose). Instead, drink plenty of nonalcoholic beverages, especially water.
Limit intake of foods high in purines, such as red meat, organ meats and seafood.
Exercising regularly and losing weight. Keeping your body at a healthy weight reduces your risk of gout.

Maryann
