Gout Treatment - 3 Natural Remedies and Gout Prevention Tips

Posted: Dec 06, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

When considering gout treatment, you need to think of two things; how to relieve the current pain and symptoms, and, how to prevent future gout attacks from causing potentially serious health problems down the line. Here, you'll discover 3 simple gout treatment tips using natural remedies, plus, how to prevent recurring gout.

Most natural gout treatment uses home remedies that can alleviate the painful symptoms of gout. And they do this by helping to reduce inflammation and swelling, and also by helping to reduce the high uric acid levels that lead to gout crystals in your joints.

Here are 3 natural remedies for gout that many gout victims -- including myself -- have found to be very effective...

(1) Eat lots and lots of cherries. These have natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. And, they also can help to lower your uric acid levels. Consume 30 to 40 every 4 hours during an attack. For maintenance, and to help prevent gout, eat 30 to 40 during the day.

(2) Drink as much water throughout the day as you can; at least 3 liters. Water helps your kidneys to flush excess uric acid from your body. It also helps to prevent crystal formation, because a well-hydrated body makes it harder for crystals to form.

(3) Take a baking soda drink to help dissolve painful crystals and to help your body excrete more uric acid. This can be a powerful way to reduce the agonizing pain of gout. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a large glass of water and drink a glass before bedtime, one first thing in the morning, and a glass 4 times during the rest of the day. Stop once your symptoms have gone.

Note: As baking soda is high in sodium go on to a low salt or salt-free diet. If you suffer from hypertension, talk to your doctor first, to see if this remedy is okay for you to use.

These 3 natural gout treatment tips can be very effective for many people. But of course, as in any walk of life, there is much more you need to do to truly prevent recurring gout attacks from potentially causing you kidney problems, hypertension, and permanently damaged joints.

For example, there are dietary and lifestyle changes that you need to seriously consider, if you really want to prevent further gout attacks. And you need to be aware that once having suffered one attack, you're now at a much higher risk of having more...
