what can u take at home for gout?

Answer 1

Gout comes from excessive uric acid in the body. Drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water will help eliminate uric acid more efficient.

Raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar removes uric acid. Drink 3 glasses of apple juice with a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a dash of cinnamon three times a day.

Throw out your table salt and switch to unrefined sea salt. This could fix you up fast.

Eating half a pound of fresh or canned cherries per day has been shown to be very effective in lowering uric acid levels and preventing attacks of gout. Cherries, hawthorn berries, blueberries and other dark red-blue berries are rich sources of anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins. These compounds are flavonoid molecules that give these fruits their deep red-blue color.
