Herbal remedies for Gout
Gout is a painful condition caused by a build up of uric acid crystals in the joints - most commonly the big toe joint. This pain is accompanied by painful swelling. The problem arises because the body is unable to break down chemicals known as purines that can be found in shellfish, fatty fish, red meat and offal. By cutting out these foods and eliminating tobacco, can greatly assist in the treatment of gout.
