Natural treatments for gout are finding favor with gout sufferers all around the globe.
Natural ingredients are easy and cheap to source, and easy to use, so natural treatments for gout are being increasingly used by gout victims.
Here are some simple natural treatments for gout you can do from the comfort of home...
SIMPLE NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR GOUT (a) Drink a minimum of 2 litres of water everyday (3's better) to flush excess uric acid out of your system.
Excess uric acid is the cause of your gout and the uric acid levels in your bloodstream need to be reduced.
One of the most obvious natural treatments for gout.
(b) Cherry juice, fresh and dried cherries are excellent natural treatments.
Cherries contain Anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties.
(c) Eat foods and fruit that are high in vitamin C to reduce uric acid levels.
(d) Eat 5 helpings of fresh fruit and vegetables each day to help flush uric acid out of your system.
But not mushrooms, asparagus, or, cauliflower, they encourage gout.
(e) Cut out purine-rich foods.
Purines are chemical compounds that occur naturally in our bodies and some foods.
Uric acid is formed when purines break-down.
So you need to avoid foods like; red meat, offal, poultry, shellfish, gravy, peas, beans, lentils, yeast, yeast extract, etc.
And cut-out alcohol, especially beer.
A critical part of any natural treatments for gout program.
(f) Alfalfa reduces uric acid levels in your bloodstream and also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
You can get it in seed form, or, in tablets, capsules and liquid extracts.
(g) Apply a charcoal poultice made up from 1/2 cup of activated charcoal, 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and warm water.
This will help reduce pain and swelling.
These are just a very small collection of natural treatments for gout out there.
And on their own, although they will help relieve the symptoms of gout, they may not be enough to prevent your gout returning.
There are so many other things that can affect your gout and a possible cure.
Also, if you suffer from recurring gout, you can be left with permanently damaged joints and perhaps even kidneys.
Gout prevention is always better than cure.
So you need to get rid of that agonizing pain as fast as possible, and, at the same time prevent your gout returning, right?
