Guaiacum resin is employed in the treatment of chronic rheumatism and gout; it is said to sometimes relieve the pain and inflammation involved in these diseases, and if taken between the attacks may lessen the tendency to recurrence. As th is material is also a mild diuretic I would be inclined to proceed with caution in the case of gout as diuretics are something that should be avoided in the case of gout.
