What is best home remedies for gout and gout attack?

See details: The best approach is to take Allopurinol daily to normalize your serum uric acid and prevent agouty attacks. This also prevents joint damage, kidney stones and loss of kidney function and hardening of the arteries which are all results from uncontrolled gout. For the acute attack, try Naproxen (aleve). Doctor may suggest cherry juice but that does not help once an attack has started.

Tart cherry juice: Many of my patients tell me that cherry juice helps them. Although that may be true, I think that at age 34 you have to be very wary about relying on home remedies. Gout is caused by uric acid deposits in your joints, and if those deposits are not effectively treated, the condition causes permanent joint damage.
