nowadays due to the effect of modernization peoples are enclosed by a number of life style and metabolic diseases. Although vatrakta exit from the ancient time but recently the gradual increase in prevalence of gout is noted. The main presenting problem of people suffering from Vatarakta is intense and unbearable pain for which the patient came to the doctor. Pain affects the normal comfortable daily routine of patients so it is must to treat and cure the patient. My ambition of this review article is to provide information about the disease vatarakta and its dietary constituents to manage the disease and check its occurance. In common language vatarakta is known by signs like intense pain, tenderness, swelling in small joints of fingers. Vatarakta is a vata Pradhan tridoshaj vyadhi, its main pathogenesis occurs in vata dosha and rakta dushya, so center of its treatment is to maintain the balance between vitiated vata and rakta. Shaman of vata and shodhan of rakta cures the disease completely. In modern medical science vatarakta is correlated with gout which is caused due to increased level of serum uric acid. In modern medical science gout is managed by use of analgesics like NSAIDs, uricosuric drugs like probenecid allopurinol etc use of these drugs causes many adverse effects on patients like diarrhea, vomiting, headache and many other complication. In Ayurveda we can conduct different methods to give easily available, effective and cheap treatment and prevention for gout. In this review article I have explained wholesome and unwholesome diet as explained in Charak Samhita, bhaishjya ratnavali, yog ratnakar.
