Understanding Gout from Ayurvedic treatment perpective
In Ayurveda, gout is referred to as “Vatarakta,” a condition caused by the imbalance of Vata (air and space) and Rakta (blood). Ayurveda treats gout not just as a joint issue but as a systemic imbalance, addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
Based on the seat of the disease, vata rakta is classified into two type
Uttan (Superficial) – This is located at superficial level of skin (twak) & muscle (mansa).
Gambhir (Deep) – This is located in the deeper tissue (dhatu) and is more severe in nature.
Types of Gout
In Ayurveda gout is classified into 4 types depending upon the dominance of dosha.
Vataj vata-rakta
In this type of gout there is severe pain along with cracks in skin around the joint. There is dryness in joint. Along with this there is stiffness in the whole body. The affected person is sensitive to cold weather and dry and cold food items.

Excessive intake of Sour (amla), Salty(lavana) and spicy( katu) food items.
Too much intake of sour, salty, spicy food such as pickles, sauces, curd, packed and processed food items causes accumulation of uric acid in the body.
Alcohol
Too much consumption of alcohol is also considered as leading cause of gouty arthritis. In ayurveda alcohol is considered as ushna (hot) and tikshna (piercing) and aggravating pitta dosha.
Non Vegetarian diet
People eating more non vegetarian food such as red meat and fish, egg, are found to have high levels of uric acid in comparison of people taking vegetarian diet.
Improper lifestyle
Lifestyle plays a very important part in staying healthy. Staying awake in night, sleeping during day time, not taking meals on time all contribute towards vitiation of Vata- pitta dosha in body.
Obesity & High blood pressure

Kidney function
Normally uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into urine. Renal insufficiency to excrete uric acid is also the leading cause of hyperuricemia in majority of gout cases.
