Natural Gout Remedies
There are many natural gout remedies, like apple cider vinegar, available to you. Just too many to talk about here. But what I have done is to list 5 effective natural gout remedies that you can try at home, to start off with. Yes, and I've included apple cider vinegar!
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a very popular natural gout remedy. When taken as a drink, apple cider vinegar works by altering body pH to help alleviate high uric acid levels in the blood. 2 to 3 teaspoons in a large glass of water x 3 times daily.
Used topically, it can help to reduce inflammation and pain. 1/2 cup vinegar in 3 cups of hot water. Soak affected area (most probably the foot) for around 30 minutes.
Ensure that the vinegar you use is the raw, un-distilled, unpasteurized vinegar with the sediment (mother) in the bottom.
2. Hot and Cold Compresses
Many people don't know about this natural gout remedy. Alternating hot and cold can help to reduce pain and swelling and to help break-up crystals in the joints.
Use a hot compress for 3 minutes then a cold for 30 seconds. Always finish on cold.
3. Celery Seeds
These have great anti-inflammatory properties and so can be a very effective natural gout remedy, as very many sufferers can testify to.
Add 1 tablespoon of seeds to 2 cups of water and boil until the seeds are soft. Strain off the seeds and drink 1/2 cup of the ‘tea' 4 times a day.
Note: The seeds are a diuretic so don't use this remedy if you are pregnant or have any kidney problems whatsoever.
4. Vitamin C
Studies have shown that vitamin C can help your kidneys excrete uric acid more efficiently and also help to actually lower uric acid levels. This is why it's such an effective natural gout remedy.
Eat plenty of fruit, especially oranges, tangerines, etc., and you can also take it in supplemental form. Don't take too much though, because any abrupt change in uric acid can actually trigger a gout attack.
5. Vitamin B Complex
B complex is yet another effective natural gout remedy that a lot of people don't know about. It works by converting uric acid into a variety of otherwise harmless components.
Suggested doses are 1 to 3 x 50mg complete B complex each day. But check with your doctor to make sure this is okay for you.
So there you have 5 natural gout remedies; apple cider vinegar, hot and cold compresses, celery seeds, vitamin C, and, B complex. Try them where appropriate and see how you get on.
Long Term Problems With Recurring Gout
The other thing to be aware of though, is that there are many other issues that you need to address in order to successfully prevent your gout returning time and time again. Things such as diet, weight, lifestyle issues, etc.
And you also need to be aware that recurring gout can, in time, leave you with kidney problems, high blood pressure, and even permanently damaged joints. Plus, once you've had even one attack, you're now highly likely to have more.
