How to Dissolve Gout Crystals Without Drugs
When your body has high levels of uric acid — a condition called ‘hyperuricemia’ — gout crystals can form in your joints causing the symptoms of gout; redness, swelling, heat, stiffness, inflammation and unbearable pain.
During a gout attack, two of the main objectives are to eliminate the uric acid crystals causing your gout, and, lower your high uric acid levels, to prevent further crystal build-up. And many people with gout are now using natural remedies to achieve this, without the horrible side effects of drug-based medications.
There are natural remedies that can actually dissolve gout crystals, so that they are more easily flushed from your body. There are others which can ‘neutralize’ high uric acid so that the risk of crystals being formed is lessened…
Alfalfa is full of minerals and nutrients, and, has been shown to lower uric acid levels in the bloodstream.
Nettle contains alkaloids which can help neutralize uric acid.
Parsley is a natural diuretic which helps your kidneys flush uric acid from your body.
Vitamin C has been shown to reduce uric acid levels in the blood, so eat plenty fruit.
Bicarbonate of Soda can dissolve gout crystals and help make uric acid more soluble, so that it’s easier to flush out. Use 1/2 teaspoon in 8oz of water. One glass before bed, one in the morning, and, one every two to four hours.
Note: No more than four teaspoons a day. Stop when the symptoms have abated. Change to a salt-free diet while using it. And don’t use if you suffer from hypertension.
Water can help to prevent the formation of gout crystals by keeping you well hydrated. And it helps your kidneys flush excess uric acid out of your body. Drink at least 12 x 8oz glasses of water every day.
These can all help to eliminate gout crystals during an attack and so relieve the symptoms of gout. But, unless you have a plan to lower and maintain low levels of uric acid longer term, you run the risk of suffering recurring gout.
Frequent gout episodes can have pretty serious consequences later on, things like permanently damaged joints and even kidney problems. And if you’ve had one gout attack you are at a very high risk of having more.
