Gout is caused by an increased level of uric acid in the blood. The increase of uric acid in the blood leads to the formation of crystals, due to which the joints of the bones start freezing. In Ayurveda, this problem is also called Vatarakta. This is a form of arthritis, due to which the joints of the bones are affected the most.
Some common causes of gout are being overweight, wrong eating habits, consumption of alcohol, smoking, genetics, etc. Along with pain in the joints, symptoms like lethargy, discomfort, swelling and redness in the joints and difficulty walking may be experienced in gout. Ayurvedic treatment can be taken to reduce the symptoms of gout.
Natural herbs are often used in Ayurvedic treatment. Doshas present in the body can be resolved by using these Ayurvedic herbs. According to Ayurveda, a person is affected by gout because of the imbalance of Vata dosha. In such a situation, by removing Vata dosha through Ayurvedic treatment, the symptoms caused by gout can be reduced.
