Removing Gout Crystals Naturally

Welcome back! I'm so glad that you're finding "Natural Gout Remedies" so useful. John Cielo

By removing gout crystals you’re helping to relieve your gout symptoms. But you can do this without drugs. Discover here, how to remove gout crystals with a secret natural remedy you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard.

Gout crystals are in fact uric acid crystals that have been formed through the presence of high uric acid levels in your bloodstream. Removing or dissolving these crystals is one of your first priorities in order to relieve your symptoms and reduce the pain of your gout.

The usual treatment for getting rid of gout symptoms are drug-based medications such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), colchicines and corticosteroids. However, they do have some pretty nasty side effects; nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc. So more and more gout sufferers are using natural ways to remove their gout crystals.

And a surprisingly effective natural remedy is bicarbonate of soda, better known as baking soda! You probably have some of this stuff sitting in a kitchen cupboard right now. If not then get out there and buy some, you’ll be so glad you did…

Baking soda can help to dissolve your gout uric acid crystals, helps your kidneys to flush excess uric acid out of your body, and increases the solubility of uric acid to again help in the flushing process. It can also help to reduce the risk of kidney stones due to chronic gout.

Here’s how to take it…

Just put half of a teaspoon into a large glass of water and stir well. Drink a cup before bedtime, one as soon as you get up in the morning, and a cup every two to four hours in-between meals. But, don’t consume more than four teaspoons of baking soda a day; equivalent to eight cups per day.

Also, make sure you change to a salt-free diet while you’re taking this home remedy, as baking soda is very high in sodium. And if you suffer from high blood pressure don’t attempt this remedy until you talk to your doctor and they give you the all-clear.

I’ve tried this many times before I finally got my gout under control, and it seemed to work fine for me…

But talking about getting gout under control, that’s something that all gout sufferers need to do. Did you realize that chronic gout (recurring gout) can cause serious joint damage and kidney problems over time? And that once having had just one gout attack you’re now at a much higher risk of having more?

Now, natural gout remedies like baking soda, whilst very good at removing gout symptoms, cannot help you prevent further attacks. You need to take many other factors into consideration; diet, your weight, lifestyle, and several more in order to achieve your final goal. Read more about it at The Gout Remedy Report.

How to Get Rid of Uric Acid Pain in Your Big Toe Naturally

Uric acid pain in your big toe is really the agonizing pain you get from having gout in your big toe. The vast majority of cases of gout occur in the main joint of the big toe, but gout can appear in almost any joint in the body, including your ankles, knees, hands, fingers, elbow, etc.

Many folks refer to it as ‘uric acid’ pain because they are aware that gout is caused by the formation of crystals in the joints and connective tissue (e.g. in your big toe). These can form when you have high uric acid levels in your bloodstream.

These gout crystals are needle-like in nature when seen through a microscope. Your body’s defenses recognise them as ‘foreign’ objects and a natural defence mechanism is set in motion, which produces the symptoms of gout such as, redness, inflammation, stiffness, swelling, heat, and unbearable pain.

You can get rid of the pain and other symptoms through medications prescribed by your doctor like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), colchicines and /or corticosteroids. But gout sufferers are increasingly searching for more natural methods to get rid of their ‘uric acid’ pain, because of the number of quite horrible side effects that drug-based medications have.

During an attack you have to start from the view that you have uric acid crystals in your big toe (for example), and, high uric acid levels in the blood. So you need to get rid of the crystals and reduce your acid levels. And you can do both using natural remedies for gout. Here are 3 simple tips on how to get rid of gout pain…

(1)  Drink Water to Help Flush Uric Acid and Uric Acid Crystals From Your Body

Drink loads of water. Water is absolutely vital to your body’s correct functioning. With a well-hydrated body you have a much better chance of getting rid of your gout, and, helping prevent gout.

By drinking plenty of water you are helping your body prevent uric acid crystal formation, plus, helping to flush gout crystals out of your body where they have formed.

You should drink a minimum of 12 x 8oz glasses of water every single day.

(2) Baking Soda Can Also Get Rid of Uric Acid Crystals From Your Body

Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) is a very effective way to dissolve crystals and so help reduce the pain of a gout attack. And it can also increase uric acid solubility so that your kidneys can more easily expel excess acid out of your system.

To take, just add one half of a teaspoon of baking soda to eight ounces of water in a glass and stir well until the powder had completely dissolved. Drink a glass first thing in the morning, one every 2 to 4 hours during the day, then one last thing before bedtime. Do this daily until your symptoms have abated.

You need to stop putting salt on your food, and, change to a low sodium diet whilst taking this remedy, because of the high sodium levels already in baking soda. And if you have hypertension, you should consult your doctor before attempting this remedy.

(3) Cherries Can Lower Uric Acid, Reduce Inflammation and Relieve Pain

Cherries contain ‘anthocyanins’ which have natural anti-inflammatory properties.  So they are excellent during a gout attack. But research has also shown that they can actually lower uric acid levels in the blood.

Some researchers have suggested that eating 20 cherries every day is more or less the same as taking an NSAID. But there is still a variance in terms of the optimum to take per day. The Gout Remedy Report suggests the following; 30 to 40 cherries every 4 hours during a gout attack. If this is too much at each ’sitting’ then you gout eat 8 to 10 each hour.

So there you have it, 3 simple ways to get rid of uric acid pain in your big toe, or any other joint for that matter! And I have personally used all three and found the combination to be very effective. See how you get on…

In the meantime, don’t forget that you also need to work on prevention, as well as curing your present attack. This is vital because of the potential permanent damage to joints and possible kidney problems associated with frequent gout attacks over time. So you need to consider things like your diet, lifestyle, weight, family history, etc.
