7 Delicious Natural Remedies for Gout
Did your doctor say you shouldn't eat red meat or drink wine?Don't be sad. Restrictions are not always a bad thing, because they force you to get creative. Ask this instead: "Which foods are natural remedies for gout and tasty at the same time?"
Out of the many natural remedies my uncle George (a veteran gout sufferer) shared with me, I selected a couple of delicious ones for you. You can create different menus that can appeal even to those without your diet "restrictions". From spring until late autumn, nature is very generous and gives you a whole variety of fruits and vegetables for gout to choose from. Easy uric acid herbal cleanser recipe For example, spring is the perfect time for a Nettle and Dandelion cleanse of the whole body.Besides its vitaminising, haemostatic and hypoglycemic actions, Nettle leaves are an excellent uric acid cleanser. They are recommended by phytotherapists as one of the best natural remedies for gout. Make an infusion from a tablespoon of fresh Nettle leaves in 1-cup boiling water. Drink 3 cups of tea per day. Tasty salads Some vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, lentils, oatmeal, navy beans, lima beans, kidney beans, peas or spinach have high levels of purines. You should avoid them, or eat them in small amounts.Instead, prepare your favorite salad and spice it up with parsley, dill, bay leaves, tarragon or lovage. You can also season the salad with other natural remedies for gout - lemon juice and olive oil. Cherries and Gout Do you like cherries? I remember, back when I was a child, my uncle George, a gout sufferer, and I both shared my grandparents cherry tree.Phytotherapists call it the "cherry diet". You can even say to friends that it is mandatory. How many cherries do you have to eat? 2 pounds / 1 kilogram of cherries a day, over a period of 3 weeks would be ideal. Cherries do not only reduce the proportion of uric acid in the blood. They also remineralize the body, improve the digestion and limit or eliminate the inflammatory processes and alleviate the pain. Watermelons Beside cherries, you can enjoy another delicious fruit in mid summer.Watermelons contain potassium, which neutralizes uric acid and lots of vitamin C, which has been shown to lower uric acid levels. Grapes In the fall, don't miss grapes. Eat as many as you can, because they contain quercitin, a potent flavonoid.The great thing about flavonoids is that they contain anti-inflammatory properties which can relieve gout pain. Celery Another treat in the autumn is Celery. It is known as "rheumatism sweep" due to its anti-inflammatory effects. It works as a blood cleanser, removing toxins and excess uric acid from the body, which alleviates gout pain.Make 2 glasses of celery root juice (no more than 300 ml / 10 oz per day) and carrot juice. Drink the juice in the morning, on an empty stomach, over a period of 3-4 weeks. You can also make a salad from finely chopped celery leaves. They have the same depurative and properties as the root. "Gout free" tea Another simple method to cleanse the blood from excess uric acid is to drink a tea with depurative and diuretic properties.Peppermint, green tea, birch, black berries are the most recommended natural remedies for gout in the "tea category". Keep in mind a couple of "rules" when choosing gout foods: - Drink a lot of water,
- Eat vegetables and fruits with vitamin C, potassium and phosphorus and
- Avoid foods high in purines.
