HELLO MAHINDRA,
In Ayurveda, Vata Rakta is a disease caused by the vitiation of two things -VATA DOSHA= responsible for movement and dryness in the body -RAKTA DHATU= blood tissue that gets polluted by poor diett/ lifestyle
When both these elements go out of balance and mix with AMA(toxins), they block small blood vessels and joint spaces, leading to; -joint pain -redness -stiffness and swelling -burning or tingling
It most commonly affects the big toe first and gradually involves knees, ankles, fingers and elbows
START TAKING INTERNALLY WITH
1)VATARI GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water DURATION= 2-3 months =specific for joint pain with swelling and stiffness, balances vata and detoxifies joint pain with swelling and stiffness, balances vata and detoxifies joints

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Managing gout, or Vata Rakta as it’s known in Ayurveda, requires a comprehensive approach addressing both lifestyle and dietary choices, along with specific herbal remedies. Start with focusing on balancing Vata and Rakta through diet, lifestyle, and herbal support.
First, let’s discuss some dietary guidelines. Aim to reduce intake of high-purine foods which aggravate gout. These include red meat,in particular organ meats like liver, shellfish, and seafood such as sardines. Alcohol, particularly beer, and sugary drinks need to be minimized too as they can worsen the condition. Instead, embrace a diet rich in leafy greens, fresh fruits, and whole grains. Favor warm foods and drinks, gently spiced, and cooked with healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil, to aid digestion and calm Vata. Moderation is key.
Ayurvedic medicine offers several herbs known to support gout. Guggulu is often recommended for removing excess uric acid and reducing inflammation. Take 500mg twice daily after meals along with warm water. However, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to adjust this to your personal dosha balance. Herbal formulations like Triphala can also be beneficial for detoxification, as it helps in regular bowel movements which is important for Vata management. A teaspoon of Triphala powder at night with warm water might be helpful.
A disciplined lifestyle is crucial too. Ensure adequate hydration, ideally, warm water throughout the day aids in flushing out toxins. Regular gentle exercises like walking or yoga helps improve movement in joints and reduce stiffness. Avoid overexertion, as it’s important to prevent further Vata aggravation.
Applying castor oil or mustard oil to affected joints can provide relief in stiffness and improve mobility. Simply warm the oil slightly and massage it gently into the joints before having a warm bath, ensuring it’s comfortable for you.
Since you’ve been dealing with this condition for a long time, consistency in following these practices will be vital to seeing improvement. Keep an open channel with a healthcare provider for ongoing support, especially if you decide to incorporate any new treatments.

💠 It’s characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in one or more joints, most often in the big toe.
💠 Gouty is An attack of gout can occur suddenly, often waking you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen and so tender
💠 Gout symptoms may come and go, but there are ways to manage symptoms and prevent flares.
🌸 Symptoms
Intense joint pain – Gout usually affects the big toe, but it can occur in any joint. Other commonly affected joints include the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers. 💠 Lingering discomfort – After the most severe pain subsides, some joint discomfort may last from a few days to a few weeks. 💠 Inflammation and redness – The affected joint or joints become swollen, tender, warm and red. 💠 Limited range of motion – As gout progresses, you may not be able to move your joints normally.
🌸 Causes
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Purines are also found in certain foods, including red meat and organ meats, such as liver. Purine-rich seafood includes anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout and tuna. Alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar promote higher levels of uric acid. Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. When this happens, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling.
🌸 Gout in Ayurveda
Lifestyle and home remedies
Choose healthier beverages – Limit alcoholic beverages and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose). Instead, drink plenty of nonalcoholic beverages, especially water. Avoid foods high in purines – Red meat and organ meats, such as liver, are especially high in purines. Purine-rich seafood includes anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout and tuna. Low-fat dairy products may be a better source of protein for people prone to gout. Exercise regularly and lose weight – Keeping your body at a healthy weight reduces your risk of gout. Choose low impact activities such as walking, bicycling and swimming which are easier on your joints.
