Introduction:

A concentrated form of arthritis and rheumatism resulting in excess uric acid crystals collecting around a small joint, often the big toe. Excruciating painful, this condition is often caused by alcohol or an excessively acidic diet.

Nutritional Advice:

See arthritis and rheumatism sections for dietary advice.

Avoid coffee, tea, alcohol and concentrate on fruit, vegetables (non-acidic).

Moving body fluids via the kidneys will help, use home made barley water for this. Drink plenty of water.

Herb Quality:

A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice.

DO NOT MIX HERBAL MEDICINE AND GP PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR GP OR PRACTIONER

Natural Healing:

For circulation needs try hot and cold showers and hot and cold packs which will encourage healing and relieve stiffness.
