Hyperuricemia is a condition caused by a high level of uric acid in the blood, which means that the concentration of uric acid in the blood is higher than normal. Most often, this disease results from a high consumption of fatty meat, alcohol and cold cuts. The high concentration of uric acid in the blood is often associated with joint diseases, including gout.
Symptoms of hyperuricemia
Gout is one of the primary and most well-known causes of the disease. Note that gout may not have symptoms for several years, however it needs to be treated in order to avoid possible complications. The first symptoms may be swelling accompanied by stabbing pain and redness in the big toe joint. In addition, it is noted that gout attacks tend to recur every year at the same time.
Recommended homeopathic treatments
In the event of a classic gout attack, it is recommended to take Urtica 5 CH, Apis mellifica 7 CH, Ledum Palustre 4 CH, Belladonna 7 CH and Colchicum 5 CH to relieve pain. In the event that the patient suffers from tendonitis, it is recommended to combine this treatment with 3 granules of Guaiacum or Benzoicum acidum. If hyperuricemia is due to excess food, take Sulfur 5 CH twice daily. Sepia 5 CH is the remedy indicated in the event that a woman suffers from this disease. Lycopodium 5 CH is also indicated for the treatment of hyperuricemia. To be effective, this remedy is to be combined with Colchicum 15 CH which prevents recurrences. In the case of chronic gout, i.e. with almost permanent hyperuricemia, it is necessary to take three granules of Arnica 5 CH in the morning, 3 granules of Ranunculus 5 CH at noon and 3 granules of Colchicum 5 CH in the evening. To have a better recovery, this treatment can be combined with a dose of Nux vomica 9 CH, to be taken every Sunday evening.
When to see a doctor?
When you notice that gout attacks are becoming more and more frequent and if they are accompanied by significant pain, a medical consultation is necessary. This is because it means that the individual's body is no longer able to eliminate excess uric acid, despite the administration of homeopathic remedies. A specialist should be consulted if the patient is under 30 years of age to detect a possible genetic abnormality.
