Treatment of gout

The narzan curative effect has been known for many years. In Kislovodsk, one can hear a lot of legends about the healing of horses that drank from the spring and about horseman who noticed this “water of life” and also cured their illnesses. For many centuries the people avid to improve health and feel the curative properties of narzan come to the resort. Narzan “in bottles” keeps all the mineral water properties from the spring and has an advantage. You can buy it not only in the “City of the Sun”. The personnel of Pyatigorsk Institute of Health Resort Study recommends drinking the natural water from springs of Caucasian Mineral Waters to prevent and treat a lot of diseases. It is proved that “mineral water” assists in regulating of metabolic processes, removes fatigue, and saturates the blood with microelements. “Kislovodskaya Сelebnaya” is a curative, preventative mineral water of sulfated narzans type, efficient when treating a number of diseases, including gout.

Gout means pain.

Approximately one man of a hundred people suffers from the gout. The disease usually comes to people after 30 years and mostly to men. The gout is characterized by sudden swelling and severe joint pain caused by deposits of uric acid crystals. It happens because of body metabolic disorders: the uric acid removal by the kidneys decreases, acid concentration in the blood increases, the crystals are deposited in joints, ligaments, under the skin and cause insufferable pain.
First of all, gout strikes the big toe, then it affects other joints:

• ankles;
• knees;
• small hand joints (fingers and wrists);
• elbows.

Gout is a painful disease that is worsened without treatment. If you see the first signs of any joint inflammation, you need to consult with a doctor. Not only medications are prescribed to ease the symptoms and stop the gout attack, but also the mineral water intake. “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya” water has proven itself to be useful in treating gout.

Gout symptoms
The first stroke is accompanied by:

• sudden joint pain (especially at night);
• swelling and painfulness around the damaged part of the joint;
• red shiny skin that can itch and peel off.

The pain usually is so severe that even the touch of a sheet is insufferable. Each attack lasts from three to ten days, then the swelling dissipates, and the pain goes away.
In the case of no adequate therapy, the attack affects other joints, and they can last up to three weeks.

Gout diagnostics
The patient shall have a blood test to determine the uric acid level. Note that the test shall be made within 4-6 weeks after the last stroke. Otherwise, the uric acid level can be lower than it actually is. In neglected gout cases, the patient may need an X-ray to determine the degree of the joint damage.

Diet in case of gout

• Exclude products with a high content of purine:
• fowl and rabbit;
• fatty fish (anchovy, herring, mackerel, sardine, sprat);
• dock, spinach;
• coffee, cocoa;

It is recommended to limit the number of products with moderate content of purine:

• meat (beef, lamb, pork);
• poultry (chicken, duck);
• peas, beans, and other legumes;
• mushrooms;
• some vegetables (asparagus, cauliflower);
• whole-wheat bread.
• The diet shall be based on dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, butter), eggs, bread and cereals, noodle products, fruit, and vegetables.

Treatment of gout
To ease the pain and reduce the swelling, raise the joint, and give it some rest. A cold compress can help (ice wrapped in a towel is applied for 20 minutes). You can take anesthetic medication. Doctors recommend intaking mineral drinking table water, for example, “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya”, which belongs to the group of sulfated narzans. Its effect is based on the normalization of metabolism impaired in the case of gout. Besides, minerals in the “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya” assist in swelling removal and joint recovery.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed in case of gout ease the pain and remove the joint inflammation, but have an irritating effect on the stomach. The right dosage of the sulfated narzan can help to prevent the development of medicinal gastritis. So, “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya” has a double effect: it treats gout by normalizing the metabolism and partially neutralizes the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Wholesome and healthy “water of life” indeed!

Regular intake of “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya” water and adherence to the diet will help to avoid exacerbations of gout and limit the intake of unsafe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
