Gout - Natural Remedies for Relief
This blog entry will explore the symptoms, causes, and natural remedies which can help you get rid of gout once and for all.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
This buildup can cause redness, swelling, tenderness, and extreme pain in the affected area. The most common area for uric acid buildup is the big toe, but gout can also occur in other parts of your foot, ankles, knees, or other joints.
Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines (a substance naturally found in your body, and also found in certain foods such as steak, organ meats, and seafood), and normally this uric acid dissolves in your blood and then passes through your kidneys, into your urine, and is then eliminated.
So the question becomes, "what can we do to help the body dissolve the uric acid, filter through the kidneys properly, and be eliminated?" This would solve the issue of uric acid buildup (or too much uric acid in the bloodstream).
1. Take a Proteolytic Enzyme supplement. These enzymes help digest protein. (I recommend Veganzyme from the Global Healing Center: https://www.globalhealingcenter.com/veganzyme.html#description)
2. Drink plenty of water! This will help flush the uric acid through the kidneys and out.
3. Eat and drink plenty of alkaline foods to keep your body's pH in balance. For a list of alkaline foods (and acid foods to avoid), click on this link: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/t-food-chart.aspx
4. There are many other things you can do to eliminate Gout such as maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and avoid alcohol, fried foods, and refined carbohydrates.
It takes time to get your body back into balance, so be consistent and persistent - you can find relief and healing!
