Dear Herbpathy Team
Uric acid is behind Gout. Hawthorn you say is beneficial for gout, can you provide any suitable way how to take it for gout.
 
Herbpathy Research Team
22 May 2015
Dear Bharat,

An increase in Uric Acid is known as Gout. There are two reasons of Gout occurrence. One is genetic and other is due to bad habits. It is easier to treat Gout from Bad habits than that of Genetics.

The best fruits for Gout are Cherries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries and Hawthorn berries. These all are rich in Anthocyanidin, which is the active chemical constituent against Gout.

As per your query regarding Hawthorn and Gout we suggest the following methods:
( Use the method which is easy for you )
Hawthorn berries may be consumed for treating increased Uric Acid. You may eat 8 to 10 berries a day.
Extract of Hawthorn is available in the market. Put 2 drops of extract in half of water and drink.
Hawthorn Capsules are also available in the market. Take a capsule a day.

Thanks and Regards

You may drink Hawthorn tea. one cup everyday . Just try it for a week, if it suits you then you may continue it for a month.
But, it is very important that you consult your family doctor, before you try anything on your own. Since, your doctor has physically diagnosed you and knows your condition better.

Osman. You will have to consult your doctor before trying any herb along with the medicines you are already taking. As, it would be difficult to comment, since we have not diagnosed you physically and we do not know the exact disease that you suffer from. Because, taking Hawthorn with the drugs may cause complication, like palpitations or irregular Heartbeat. So, please talk to your healthcare provider first.
