For natural remedies you can find herbs that are xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Personally I've used burdock root and nettle leaf in conjunction that seemed to help at one point and didn't seem to help at another. (The reason for the herb not helping soon after could be because after a while of inhibiting the production of uric acid, crystals break down and reintroduce that uric acid that formed them back into your blood, causing levels to rise which can trigger or prolong an attack.. the same thing happens with the prescription meds that inhibit xanthine oxidase)
The burdock root being the herb that inhibits the enzyme. This is the same process some prescription medicines do to lower uric acid levels in the blood which is what causes an attack in the first place and can stop them from happening in the future if you keep the level low enough. There are herbs that are more effective at blocking the enzyme I just don't remember the names off the top of my head. If you Google xanthine oxidase inhibitors or something along those lines you'll find info on the matter.
If I get an attack I eat wild blueberries, walnuts, broccoli things of that nature (antioxidants are helpful for this and good for you in general) mostly just so I'm not taking ibuprofen on an empty stomach. Usually the ibuprofen will take the pain down a notch to the point it's not terrible and you can move a bit without it feeling like each step is the hardest thing you've done in life lol. I take about 400mg of that per day max when I have an attack until the attack is gone.
Staying hydrated, exercising, taking herbs and eating a mostly vegan diet can do the trick. Avoid high sugar/high carb foods. Avoid processed foods. Eat like our ancestors did. Also make cherry extracts, herbs etc. apart of your lifestyle not something you do when the problem arises. Use these things proactively to prevent an attack not as a remedy for when an attack starts. The ultimate goal is to lower your uric acid level under a specific threshold and thus never have an attack.
