Info on Gout Remedies
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness
Gout occurs when the kidneys cannot pass uric acid to the bladder and the liquid starts collecting in joints, knees, the blood, and other parts of the body. The uric acid turns in small crystals. Unhealthy eating and an excessive intake of alcohol are two of the main causes of the disease. Other causes are heredity, wearing improperly fitting shoes, throat and nose diseases, or eating too many foods that are rich in protein. Men and menopausal women are the highest risk groups, but thanks to centuries of trial and error, there are some effective home remedies for gout.
The primary thing anyone afflicted should do is change-eating patterns, since this is one of the most common causes. Avoid eggs, other high-protein foods, and all junk food.
The intake of carrots, cucumbers, beets, beans and green leafy vegetables in the form of juice has helped many sufferers fight the illness and its symptoms. Drained boiled cabbage wrapped in a punctured cloth can also be placed on the gout area for a few hours two to four times per day.
Eating three to four raw garlic cloves per day and increasing vegetable intake is ideal, as well. Many fitness experts and Ayurvedic specialists have recommended three to four apples per day, 10 to 20 cherries, grapes or six to eight bananas in a day. In fact, some gout sufferers who have been able to sustain a banana diet for about three days have noticed the pain disappear.
One other home food remedy that has worked is mixing an equal amount of honey and apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. About three teaspoons of each three or four times a day has been noted as one of the most effective remedies.
Massage oils and ointments made from vinegar and rose petals or vinegar, black pepper and water have been effective topical home remedies. Herbal remedies for gout are safe and inexpensive. Once you feel the symptoms – pain in the joints and knees, toe swelling, fever, loss of appetite – move to a gout-fighting diet immediately for about a week.
