Homeopathy provides quick relief in gout attacks, these offer a safer natural alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) to reduce pain and swelling. The prophylactic action of these top five homeopathic remedies is centered around the main symptoms of gout like joint pain with redness often the big toe, stiffness, deformities, and urinary symptoms.

The build-up of needle-sharp uric-acid crystals from high uric acid levels causes extremely painful inflammation of the joints and the big toe is the most common target. An attack or “flare” can last for days or months and could involve feet, ankles, knees, and hands also.

Dr.K.S. Gopi a researcher, academician, practitioner, and author of best seller book Homeopathy Easy Prescriber has identified important remedies for this condition 

Top gout treatment homeopathy medicines by indications

Colchicum 200 is one of the most indicated remedies for gout where there is a build-up of high uric acid levels. There may be a sharp pain in the great toe. The affected parts may be swollen and very hot to the touch. There could be great sensitivity to touch on account of extreme pain. The pains could be more intense in the evening and night which may be throbbing, crushing. The slightest effort to move the legs gives rise to a sharp, shooting, and unbearable pain in the toe. There may be difficulty to walk on account of pain.

Ledum Pal 200  the main indicating feature for the use of this remedy is the pain pattern in gout, the pains shift from downwards to upwards. High levels of uric acid in the blood may result in its crystals being deposited in the joint spaces. The first attack of pain could be triggered after the person has partied the previous night, especially after consuming meat and alcohol. The patient feels chilly, yet he does not like to be covered as his pains are better by cold.

Guaiacum Off. Q  is more suited in chronic cases  where deformities and contractures ( permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff ) set in. Another highlight is intolerance to heat in any form, the affected joints may be extremely hot to touch. Guaiacum may be given when there is a bad smell from the body. In some cases, it could be given in very acute cases as well. The affected limb is painful, stiff, and immobile. Sciatica and lumbago. Gouty pains, tearing, and lancinating. Worse from motion, heat, cold wet weather, from 6 pm to 4 am. Better by external pressure.

Lithium Carb 200  is used when high levels of uric acid give rise to an unusual stiffness all over the body. Like rheumatoid arthritis, gout can cause stiffness in multiple joints. Another peculiar feature is itching all over the skin of the joints. The pains are relieved by pouring hot water. Uric acid may get deposited in the joint spaces to give rise to nodosities which can be felt externally also. The nodes may also be felt in the finger joints and some severe cases, they may be felt in the ear pinna

Benzoic Acid 30 is indicated when the urinary symptoms are more marked. Gout is a high-risk factor for renal calculi as the uric acid crystals may be deposited in the kidneys or the urinary tract giving rise to stones. On examination, the urine may show very high levels of uric acid. The color of urine may also keep changing from dark brown to pale yellow. Gout patients excrete urine with a significantly lower pH. There may be a crackling sensation in the joints. The great toe may be swollen and may give rise to difficulty in walking or even moving the limb. Pain often changes position; it relieves the pain.
