Gout is a type of arthritis where there is excess uric acid in blood. It causes sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe. Gout is most common in men. Being overweight, eating a diet rich in meat and seafood (high-purine foods), and drinking too much alcohol increases risk of getting gout. Complications such as permanent disability can occur. Homeopathy reduces blood uric acid levels and helps minimize the deposition of uric acid crystals.
