Soaking ‘Gout Feet’ in Apple Cider Vinegar

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

Apple cider vinegar has been used since antiquity as a natural remedy for many ailments, and gout is just one of them. But it has to be organic, or raw, apple cider vinegar, not the distilled, pasteurized stuff you normally get in supermarkets. You’ll get the raw version in specialist food shops and /or health food stores.

This particular home remedy can be taken as a drink as well as for soaking your ‘gout’ feet’ in it…

As a drink, it is believed that it actually changes the pH value of your blood which reduces your high uric acid levels, and so helps to alleviate your painful gout.

As a soak for your feet, it can help to alleviate the pain and inflammation that you get during a gout attack in your feet.

Here’s how to take it as a drink…

Just add 3 teaspoons of cider to a large glass of water and drink 3 times per day. If the taste is just too much for you, then add some honey to help sweeten the drink.

Here’s how to use apple cider vinegar as a soak for ‘gout feet’…

Make up a batch in the ratio 1/2 of a cup of the cider to 3 cups of hot water, i.e. 1 of cider to 6 of hot water, and soak your foot / feet for half an hour. Repeat, reheating the mixture as required.

Note: Do not boil the water. Only make it hot enough that you can soak without burning your feet. Always test before putting your feet in the mixture.

Raw apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy for gout and, for many folks, has proven to be pretty effective during an attack.

But, the critical thing is to prevent gout attacks from happening in the first place. You see, recurring gout is known to produce serious complications like kidney stones and other kidney problems, and, permanently damaged joints. And the worrying thing is that once having had only one gout attack, you’re now very likely to have even more.

So, you need to do everything in your power to prevent this from happening…

You’re in luck though. There’s a special gout report available online that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.

And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.

If you want to get gout pain relief in 2 hours, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to http://bit.ly/thegoutremedyreport and discover how you can quickly do both without expensive drugs with their horrible side effects.

Gout and Stress – How to Prevent Gout by Reducing Stress

Gout and stress. How on earth are they related? Well, since gout is caused by high uric acid levels as a result of your metabolism, and stress is known to increase your body’s metabolism, then when your stress increases, more uric acid is produced, thus triggering a gout attack.

It is well known that stress can trigger gout. So it makes sense then, if you’re a gout sufferer, to do all you can to reduce your daily stress levels in order to help prevent gout attacks. There are many ways to help you do this, including the following…

Deep Breathing

Under normal circumstances the oxygen and carbon dioxide in our bodies is kept in balance by normal, correct breathing. But when we are stressed, we tend to breath more quickly and shallowly, which knocks the ratio out of balance. And when we do this we actually make our stress even worse, perhaps even to having a panic attack.

Deep, controlled breathing is a well known way to help reduce stress by re-balancing your oxygen and carbon dioxide. The key point is to ensure that you breathe using your diaphragm (abdomen) as well as your chest cavity. Breathe slowly and evenly making sure when you inhale that you inflate your abdomen and flatten it when you exhale.

Meditation

People who regularly use this method say they feel much less anxiety and stress, feel more alive, have much more energy, and need less sleep, than before they started meditating. The problem is that many people (most even?) find the whole idea of meditation disconcerting. But if it gets the job done, why not give it a go? You can learn how to do it yourself from books, etc., but you’re best to seek out a meditation teacher in your local area.

Relaxation Exercise

Here is an exercise to help you relax and relieve stress:-

1. Get comfortable in a room / place where you won’t be disturbed by people or noise. Your bedroom is ideal.
2. Either lie flat on your bed, or, recline in a comfortable chair.
3. Close your eyes and start to slow your breathing down. Inhale through your nose for a count of two. Make sure your abdomen is inflated as above.
4. Breathe out through your mouth for a count of four, ensuring your get all the air out of your abdomen.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for, say, 2 minutes.
6. Then starting with an arm, and concentrating on each part of your body in turn, consciously relax each set of muscles, making them feel heavier and heavier, so that the stress just flows away. For example, begin with your left arm, then the right, your face, neck, shoulders, etc.

These are just three of the measures you can take to help relieve your stress and prevent gout attacks. Other things are; don’t take your work problems home with you, make sure you take regular vacations, and so on.
