Gout Remedies – Remedial Potions With Professor Snape

If only we had a real life Half Blood Prince who is an expert potions master! He could cure many common ailments of our day including gout. Snape could come up with the perfect gout remedies!

Just add a few lilly wings, some gilly weed, and a bezoar and you’ll be cured. Oh and don’t forget to stir 12 times in the clockwise direction and 1 time counterclockwise:)

Just kidding.

Gout occurs when excessive amounts of uric acid in the blood, tissues, and urine crystallizes in the joints. Your body needs to be able to break down and excrete uric acid otherwise you will form gout. Gout can be extremely painful, come on suddenly, and last from a few hours to several days.

Even though modern medicine is awesome in many regards, I feel like the pharmaceutical industry is over hyped and is more concerned about making money than curing ailments. There seems to be a lot of side effects in drugs these days. For example, Allopurinol, a drug that inhibits the formation of uric acid, has some serious side effects, such as liver toxicity, possible weakening of the kidneys, skin eruptions, and inflammation of the blood vessels.
