GOUT IN THE FOOT IS CAUSED BY URIC ACID CRYSTALS

How Do I Get Rid of Gout in My Foot Naturally?

The symptoms of gout toe and gout foot are redness, heat, swelling, stiffness, inflammation and excruciating pain. The pain is so bad that we can't bear the weight of a bed sheet on it, for example.

The crystals that appear in the joint of the big toe, or other joints and tendons and surrounding tissue in the foot, are needle-like in nature. But it's your own body's natural inflammatory reaction to their presence that actually causes your gout symptoms.

URIC ACID CRYSTALS ARE FORMED WHEN YOU HAVE HIGH URIC ACID LEVELS

These 'gout' crystals are usually formed when you have higher-than-normal uric acid levels in your bloodstream.

Normally, the acid naturally produced in your body is processed by your kidneys and excess flushed out of your body via urine. The relatively low levels retained in your bloodstream is beneficial.

But sometimes, for various reasons, your kidneys can't cope with the acid being produced, and so more uric acid is retained in your blood, leading to higher-than-normal levels. This then leads to urate crystal formation and, in this case, gout in your foot.

MORE GOUT SUFFERERS ARE TURNING TO NATURAL REMEDIES TO GET RID OF GOUT

The symptoms of gout -- particularly gout in the foot -- are so bad that you need to reduce inflammation and relieve pain as fast as you possibly can.

Now, mainstream drug-based medication does this well enough. But their side effects like vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, bleeding, ulcers, etc. put many people off. And, of course, many people don't like using drugs anyway.

So, gout sufferers are increasingly seeking out natural home remedies for gout. These utilize a whole range of natural ways to get rid of gout, e.g., dietary changes, herbs, natural supplements, fruits, lifestyle adjustments, etc.

Here is just one of very many natural ways you can get rid of gout in your foot...

BAKING SODA

Bicarbonate of soda can help to dissolve the crystals in your foot and so help to limit your pain. It also has the ability to improve the solubility of uric acid, and so, helps your system to process and flush it out of your body more efficiently.

Simply add half a teaspoon of baking soda into a large glass (8 oz) of water and mix very well.

Drink a glass just before going to bed, a glass first thing in the morning, and, a glass every 2 to 4 hours between meals.

Do not exceed 4 teaspoons in any 24 hour period. Repeat daily until your gout symptoms have gone away.

Now a word of caution. Baking soda is high in sodium, so, whilst taking this remedy, you must change to a low salt / salt free diet. And, if you suffer from high blood pressure, check with your doctor before attempting this remedy.

BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO PREVENT RECURRING GOUT

Baking soda can help enormously in getting rid of your gout foot symptoms. But it is only of use to combat an actual gout attack. You can't be drinking baking soda everyday.

One of the most important things to remember is that frequently recurring gout can eventually lead to permanent joint damage and kidney problems like agonizing stones.

Plus, once you have suffered even one gout attack, you're now highly likely to have more.
