I have heard Black Cherry extract, Turemeric and rutin can help with on onslaught.
You heard that from erroneous sources.
Those things do have very weak anti-inflammatory properties in some test tube studies, but there are no good clinical trials demonstrating any efficacy at all in the real world. If you ever really do have gout…it is an exquisitely painful condition, and you want the best, most reliable, treatment available.
Ice is mother natures anti-inflammatory so will give some immediate relief
Any of the NSAIDS will work well (ibuprofen, naprosyn).
Colchicine has been used successfully for years, though it does make some people nauseated.
Prednisone ( a corticosteroid) also is very effective, especially when there is more than one joint involved.
Rhianna has recieved inappropriate TD for a factual and reasonable answer. I expect I’ll now get the same from the "true believers". Nonetheless….facts are facts. Willfull ignorance is your choice.
I don’t know about those things, but i do know that if you eat bing cherries, fresh frozen or out of the can, it works. I had my brother in law do it and it took the pain away. You start out with about 6 cherries and you need to eat around 3 a day.

Homeopathy can cure the cause of your gout symptoms. Herbs can help only temporarily. Why not fix the problem permanently.

No, none of that. Unless contraindicated, a NSAID like ibuprofen will help ease the pain. If you are unable to tolerate NSAIDs then Colchicine would be second line during an attack.
A non pharmacological suggestion would be ice and elevation. Raise your leg or whatever limb is affected, -this will help reduce the swelling. Then place an ice pack against the affected area. Don’t apply if for more than about 20-25 minutes at a time.
