The excess levels of Uric acid in the body can result in Hyperuricemia or a medical condition called Gout. This would cause accumulation of uric acid in cartilages in the joint leading to painful inflammations. There is no permanent cure for Gout in Allopathy. It suggests lifestyle changes, dietary regulations, and medicines for reducing inflammation and pain. On the other hand, Ayurveda proposes effective medications for uric acid.
The breaking down of a chemical named Purine releases Uric acid. Purines are already present in the human body. Further, the food items consumed also contain this chemical. Ideally, the extra uric acid would be filtered by the kidney and expelled through urination. However, the expulsion will not be complete when the amount of uric acid is higher than normal.
The uric acid would form into crystals and get accumulated in the joints. This causes swelling, burning sensations, and pain. Beginning at the big toe, it spreads over to joints including ankles, knee, wrist, and elbows. Ayurveda calls it Vatarakta and suggests herbal medications to cure it at the root level.
Ayurveda doctors would examine the patient, study his or her physical conditions and composition of doshas. The ayurvedic treatment for uric acid would be prepared based on the analysis.
