Treatment of gout with folk remedies goes well with the methods of official medicine

Gout is called acute inflammation of the joints (polyarthritis) as a result of the deposition of uric acid crystals in them. A feature of the disease is the fact that exacerbation in the form of pains often occur suddenly during movement and acuity of pain sensations practically immobilizes a person. Hence the name "gout", which in Greek means "grabbing a leg" or "foot trap". The deposited uric acid crystals rapidly form a connective tissue, forming nodules called "tophi", which are one of the most characteristic (pathognomonic) signs of the disease. The causes of accumulation of uric acid are usually of a combined nature. This is a reduction in excretion by her kidneys and a decrease in the level of internal metabolism and hormonal changes in the body. All these changes appear in the body, usually after 50 years, but with the wrong diet, the disease can manifest itself at a much earlier age.

Of course, modern medicine has a vast arsenal of medicines that have both pathogenetic and symptomatic (analgesic) effects in the development of the disease. But there are also a lot of folk recipes for treating gout, and nothing prevents them from successfully combining them with the doctor's prescriptions.

Such a popular treatment of gout is well combined with an external remedy. To make it, you need 3 bottles of the usual pharmacy tincture of valerian, which must be mixed with 100 milliliters of triple cologne.

Before going to bed, after rubbing, a piece of polyethylene is applied to the treated area and wrapped with something warm.

The duration of this procedure is 10-15 minutes, the skin should be steamed. Immediately after taking a bath, the limb must be wrapped in heat.
