Dissolving gout crystals does not require medication, you can dissolve them naturally. Here you will discover a secret way to remove gout crystals using a simple grocery item.
First though, before we figure out how to get rid of gout crystals naturally, it’s probably best if we consider the cause of gout and why you might not want to use drug-based treatments to cure it.
As you probably already know, your taste is caused by uric acid crystals that have formed in your joint(s). And you probably also know that these form when you have relatively high levels of uric acid in your blood.
But did you know that uric acid is actually a byproduct of the metabolizing process that occurs in your body? The cells in your body have chemicals called ‘purines’ that make uric acid. But purines also exist in your food, which is important, as you’ll see below.
And so to conventional medical treatment. There are medications to reduce inflammation and relieve pain that do this very well. But they do not dissolve the flavor crystals. However, there are other medications that, while they can’t actually ‘dissolve’ the crystals, can lower uric acid levels in the blood.
But more and more gout patients are drawn to natural gout remedies that can do everything drugs can. And without the horrible side effects of those drugs.
So what is this ‘secret’ natural remedy for dissolving gout crystals? It’s baking soda. Yes, the baking soda you may have in a kitchen cabinet can dissolve uric acid crystals.
And not only does it dissolve crystals, it also helps increase the solubility of uric acid itself and maximizes the volume of body fluids. This helps excrete uric acid from your body more effectively, helping to lower your overall uric acid levels.
Here’s how to dissolve your flavor crystals using baking soda…
Thoroughly mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (baking soda) in a large glass of water. Drink 1 glass before bedtime, one glass in the morning, and one glass every 2 to 4 hours between meals. Follow this routine every day until your taste symptoms are gone.
Important: Never take more than the equivalent of 4 teaspoons of baking soda in a 24-hour period. And, since it’s so high in sodium, switch to a low sodium diet and stop putting salt in your food. Also, if you suffer from high blood pressure, see your doctor for advice before trying this remedy.
The above remedy has been shown to be effective, but is really only useful during an attack. You really don’t want to take it once the attack has subsided and the crystals have dissolved. It has way too much sodium for that.
But you do need to prevent your uric acid from rising again and giving you frequent gout attacks. You must do this because of the dangers of permanently damaged joints and kidney problems associated with long-term recurring gout.
Now, there are many natural ways to help do this, but your diet, remember the purines in the foods above? — and other things like your lifestyle, weight, family history, etc. they all need to be addressed as well, if you want to avoid further gout attacks with their inherent dangers.
