Gout is a form of arthritis which causes painful swelling and redness in the joints, commonly in the joint of the sufferers big toe. Generally gout can attack any joint including elbows, ankles, knees, hands and wrists not just the big toe joint and gout normally lasts 5 to 10 days.

What causes Gout?

Gout is caused by a waste product in the body called uric acid crystals, This waste product comes from the breakdown of purines. Purines are naturally found in our bodies and in the food we eat, such foods include organ meats, asparagus, anchovies, herring, and mushrooms. Red meat and alcohol also has a very strong link to gout you will also find that most rich foods in proteins and carbohydrates will also be a cause for gout. Lack of exercise and stress combined with any of the causes above also cause gout.

Natural Remedies For Gout:

The number one natural remedy for gout is cherries and it is recommend that you consume around half a cup to a pound of cherries a day, The cherries can be whole or blended with water to make juice. The weird part of cherries being a great natural remedy for gout is there is not link to how they really help! in recent studies it is found that cherries reduce the swelling and levels of uric acids in the body.

Apples and bananas are also good natural remedies for gout, A apple after each meal is great for any gout sufferers since the malic acid contained in the apple is good at neutralising the uric acid from eating rich purine foods. Bananas on the other hand require a strict diet for them to work, The gout suffer has to consume 8-9 bananas within three to four days and nothing else.

Lime or lime juice is another great natural remedy for gout since the citric acid in limes is a solvent for uric acids, also lime contains vitamin C which is known for its ability to cure sore joints by strengthen the connective tissue of the joint. We recommend the juice of a lime squeezed into a glass of water and taken twice a day until you gout is cleared up.

Some gout sufferers have had success using celery seed tablets, it is said that if you take 2 tablets 3 times a day within 4 days the pain will be gone making them a great natural supplement for gout. Also flushing your body out with as much water as possible is known to have had some success in being a natural remedy for gout.

A lot of natural remedies for gout are to do with your diet and by avoiding rich purine foods altogether you can lower your chances of getting gout the only problem is doing this is hard since a lot of foods have uric acid producing qualities these include eggs, meat and fish as well as tea, sugar and coffee.

We believe that with slight diet changes and increased exercise, less stress and more fresh air you can completely remove your chances of ever suffering from gout.
