7. Cat’s Claw
This herb gets more and more attention over the years as scientists discover its abilities to treat a wide range of health problems. In fact, the public is also getting word about this herb, and it is now one of the best-selling supplements in America. Cat’s claw has anti-fungal, antibacterial, anti-viral, and, of course, anti-inflammatory compounds that are very helpful for gout sufferers. Although most people consume cat’s claw to relieve chronic pain, it can also help to relive the pain and inflammation for those suffering from gout, as well as other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism.
