Here are 3 of the most effective natural ways to eradicate your gout symptoms…   

Eat Lots of Cherries

Many people believe this home remedy to be the king of natural gout remedies. Cherries are full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. There is also some evidence that they can reduce the uric acid levels in your blood. So, all-in-all, cherries are a powerful way to help eradicate gout symptoms.

During an attack, eat 30 to 40 cherries every 4 hours. Outside of an attack, 30 to 40 cherries daily should help maintain lower uric acid levels. If they are out of season, get some concentrated cherry juice from your local health food shop.

Drink Lots of Water

Drinking a lot of water every day will keep your body well-hydrated. A well hydrated body can help to fight against uric acid crystal formation and also help your kidneys flush excess uric acid and uric acid crystals out of your body.

You should drink at the very least, 12 x 8 ounce glasses of water everyday, more if you can. And spread these glasses throughout the day for best effect. Don’t ‘binge’ drink.

Change to a Low Purine Diet

Purines are chemical compounds in your body and food that breakdown and form uric acid during your body’s normal metabolizing process. Now some foods have more purines than others. So by eating a high purine diet, you’re just piling on more and more uric acid to your already high acid levels, thus making your gout worse, and, making it very difficult to eradicate your gout symptoms.

Depending on your present diet, you’ll need to considerably reduce some foods and avoid other foods altogether. Typical foods to avoid to help get rid of gout are; game, fatty red meat, organ meat, some fish, shellfish, poultry, legumes and yeast products. Foods to perhaps reduce are; mushrooms, cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, etc.

Note that, as everybody’s metabolism is different, you’ll find that what might trigger a gout attack in one person, might not have the same effect in another, especially with moderately-high purine foods. You’ll get more detailed dietary information in other posts within this site (see below).

The thing is which ones are effective and which ones not? And, of course, what might work for some people might not always work for others. You’re best to just try them and see which works best for you. It’ll probably be a combination of two or more even.

The key is to bear in mind what brings about your gout attacks, and focus on dealing with that. For example, gout attacks and a condition known as ‘hyperuricemia’ are most often connected. This is a condition where you have high uric acid levels in your body.

These high levels then allow for the creation of uric acid crystals in your joints, tendons and surrounding tissue. These are needle-like when seen through a microscope. And you body’s natural inflammatory reaction towards the joint causes your symptoms of gout;  redness, swelling, stiffness, heat, inflammation, and, let’s not forget, the agonizing pain!

So as a gout victim, you need to reduce inflammation, relieve the pain, and, lower your high uric acid levels. Then keep them there if possible. Maintaining lower uric acid levels is important in order to reduce the risk of recurring gout attacks which can eventually seriously damage your joints and even cause painful kidney stones.

You therefore need to find natural remedies that can do all three of the above. Here’s one of my favorite natural home remedies that did the trick for me:-

Cherries to Eliminate Gout Naturally

Studies have shown that, because of their vitamin, nutrient, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, many fruits (and vegetables) can have quite dramatic affects on your health, including on your gout.

Cherries, in particular, are a well known home remedy for gout. They contain anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties that more or less work as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) do, but without the drugs. Research has also shown that they can lower uric acid levels in the blood.

The amount you need to take to get full benefit depends on each individual. Reports of their effectiveness vary between taking as few as 6 cherries per day, up to as many as 40 cherries per day. Some research suggests that 20 cherries a day is the same as taking 1 NSAID per day.

During a gout attack you might want to try eating around 30 to 40 cherries every 4 hours for rapid relief. In between attacks, i.e. for maintenance, you could eat 30 to 40 each day.

And don’t forget that recurring gout can cause permanent joint damage over time, so do all you can to prevent that happening.

You’ll need to address a number of issues here; your weight, your diet, lifestyle, medications, underlying medical conditions, etc. These can all impact your chances of gout. And once having had a gout attack, your chances of getting more attacks increase dramatically.

You can eliminate gout naturally by mixing 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) in 8 ounces of water in a large glass. Then drink to the following schedule…

1. A glass first thing in the morning on getting up.
2. A glass every 2 to 4 hours between meals.
3. A glass last thing at night before going to bed.
4. Repeat daily until your gout symptoms subside.

Caution:-

• Don’t take more than 4 teaspoons a day, i.e., 8 glasses per day. 
• Change to a salt-free diet whilst using this gout remedy, because baking soda is already very high in sodium.
• And if you suffer from hypertension, or you think you might suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure), talk to your doctor first.

Why baking soda? There are several ways in which bicarbonate of soda can help stop your gout fast…

1. Baking soda helps to dissolve the uric acid crystals that cause your gout symptoms.
2. It also increases uric acid solubility and so can help your body to flush out more uric acid more effectively.
3. By taking it in water regularly throughout the day, it keeps you better hydrated which in turn helps your kidneys do their job of processing and excreting uric acid out of your system.
4. It increases urine pH which helps to lower the risk of uric acid kidney stones in gout sufferers.
5. It aids non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as indomethacin, that your doctor may prescribe.

Bicarbonate of soda can be a very effective natural way to stop gout fast, with reports of gout pain relief in as little as 2 hours. But, if you suffer from hypertension it may not be the remedy for you (see your doctor first), and, it can only be of use during an attack. 

Once having gotten rid of your gout, you need to prevent it returning and causing potentially harmful joint and kidney problems down the line. And there are many totally natural gout remedies out there for you to try.

How to Eliminate Gout Naturally

There’s a whole raft of natural remedies to help you eliminate your gout without you having to resort to pharmaceutical drugs. They utilise the natural gout-fighting benefits of things like herbs, natural supplements, selected fruits and selected vegetables, etc.

The range of natural remedies work to eliminate gout by reducing inflammation, relieving pain, lowering uric acid levels, detoxing your body, cleansing your kidneys, changing body pH, flushing excess uric acid from your body, and so on.

Typical are celery seeds (anti-inflammatory), alfalfa (uric acid reduction), cherries (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant), bromelain (anti-inflammatory), shark cartilage (pain relief), L-glutamine (inflammation / pain), apple cider vinegar (pH regulation), baking soda (dissolves crystals, helps acid excretion, pH regulation), etc.

These work especially when you get an attack of gout. But it’s vital that you also try to prevent further gout attacks due to the long term dangers that they possess. Frequently recurring gout can lead to permanent joint damage, and, kidney problems. And once having suffered a gout attack you’re highly likely to suffer more.

And as gout attacks are triggered by high uric acid levels in the blood, you need to reduce those levels and maintain them at healthier lower levels. A critical aspect of this objective is your diet… 

Diet to Eliminate Gout

Gout symptoms arise because of urate crystals in the joints that are formed when there are high levels of uric acid in your bloodstream. Uric acid is produced when chemical compounds in your body’s cells called ‘purines’ breakdown.

But purines also exist in our foods in varying concentrations. Generally speaking high protein foods contain high levels of purines. So the more purines you consume the more uric acid is produced in your system.

Normally, your kidneys take care of this by flushing most uric acid out through your urine. The levels of uric acid left in your body act as antioxidants and so are beneficial.

But if there’s too much acid being produced, or, your kidneys can’t cope with the normal acid levels being produced, then you end up with high uric acid levels in your blood. This leads to crystal formation and gout.

 This is why, as a gout sufferer, your diet is so very important when it comes to eliminating your gout.

Foods to Eliminate Gout 

Purines exist in foods at levels from relatively low to very high. What you need to do as a gout sufferer is to avoid foods that are high / very high in purines, and, eat those that have relatively low purine concentrations. There are also foods that have relatively moderate levels of purines that you are best to avoid, but if you wish, you can take but in very small amounts and not too frequently. 

Foods to be avoided are fatty red meat, organ meats, broth, consomme, some fish, shellfish, poultry, yeast, etc. Within these general food types there are foods that have moderately high purines and may be taken sparingly and with caution.

Foods that you can eat are typically, essential fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, low-fat dairy produce, high vitamin C foods, green leafy vegetables, etc.
