105 71
Treating gout quickly is important given how agonizingly painful it is. But as well as drugs there are natural ways to treat gout. Here you'll find 5 natural remedies for gout that are being used by many gout sufferers.

Although drug-based treatment for gout can be effective, more and more gout sufferers are treating gout with natural home remedies. These natural treatments don't have the nasty side effects of mainstream treatment using drugs.

Here are 5 natural treatments for gout that have been found to be pretty effective:-

1. VITAMIN C

Vitamin C can help increase urinary excretion of uric acid. And, it can also reduce actual uric acid levels in your bloodstream. This makes it ideal for use both during a gout attack and for maintenance outside of an attack.

Eat lots of fruit such as oranges, tangerines and mandarins. But you can also get it in supplemental form. Supplements are probably more effective than fresh fruit during an attack, but don't let that put you off still eating fresh fruit during one.

2. BROMELAIN

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the pineapple plant. It has natural anti-inflammatory properties that are ideal to reduce the inflammation of gout.

The enzyme is usually extracted from the stem of the plant, so that supplements are probably more concentrated and effective than eating just the fresh pineapple. But fresh pineapple should still form part of your daily diet.

3. WATER

Keeping your body very well hydrated makes uric acid crystal formation much more difficult. And by drinking lots of water on a daily basis, you are helping your kidneys to process and excrete uric acid from your body more easily.

Drink a minimum of 12 x 8oz glasses of water during the day, everyday. Make sure you space the glasses more or less evenly throughout the day for best effect.

4. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar can alter your blood pH which helps to alleviate high uric acid levels. It can be both ingested and applied topically to the affected area.

To drink, just add 2 or 3 teaspoons to a large glass of water, and drink 3 times a day. For the topical remedy, add 1/2 cup to 3 cups of hot water. Soak for around 30 minutes.

5. CHERRIES

Cherries have known anti-inflammatory properties. And some more research has indicated that they can also lower uric acid levels as well. So they are great for both an attack of gout, and for maintenance.

30 to 40 cherries per day for maintenance and 30 to 40 every 4 hours during an attack.

Treating gout in this way can help to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and, help reduce your uric acid levels.

But you also have to address other issues that impact your condition, e.g. your weight, diet, lifestyle, medications, underlying medical conditions, etc. This is important because frequent gout attacks can cause things like permanent joint damage over time, as well as kidney problems.
