Acute gouty attack: An anti-inflammatory like colchicine or prednisone would work in the case of an acute attack. If you want o stay natural with no medications. it is tougher and no specific studies have shown consistent results. Apple cider vinegar with turmeric & black pepper and lemon & honey. Stop alcohol and processed foods. Hydrate .
