- Abstract
Millions of people around the world suffer from gout, a form of arthritis characterized by excruciating inflammation brought on by the build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints. Pharmaceutical interventions are frequently used in traditional therapy methods to control symptoms and lower uric acid levels. However, the use of herbal remedies as supplemental or alternative gout treatments is growing in popularity. It is well recognized that medicinal plants contain bioactive substances with anti-inflammatory characteristics, which may help to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with gout. These plants have long played a significant role in traditional medical systems around the world. Recent research projects have produced encouraging findings that support the potential effectiveness of herbal treatments in preventing acute gout attacks and treating the ailment while it is in remission. In order to highlight their potential to increase therapeutic options and reduce adverse effects associated with pharmaceuticals in the management of gout, this review examines the historical use and mechanisms of action of medicinal plants.
