Natural Ways to Tackle Gout

Gout can be a real pain—literally. Gout is a type of arthritis, it occurs when there’s too much uric acid in your blood, leading to swollen, painful joints. While medications can help manage symptoms, many people are looking for natural remedies and natural ways to prevent flare-ups and promote joint health. Here are some effective natural approaches to tackle gout:

1. Stay Hydrated
   Our parents was right when they told us to drink more water. Drinking plenty of water is crucial for managing gout. Staying well-hydrated helps dilute uric acid in the blood, making it easier for the kidneys to eliminate it. [1] To stay hydrated:
   
   
   • Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day.
   • Always have a water bottle with you to keep track of your water intake.
     
     
2. Limit Alcohol Consumption
   Alcohol, especially beer and spirits, can raise uric acid levels and trigger gout attacks. [1] According to a review [2] research has found beer to have the highest link to gout risk of all the types of alcohol. Beer has found to be the highest levels of adenine and hypoxanthine — two types of purines among all other alcoholic beverages. So if you’re prone to gout, it’s best advisable to reduce your alcohol intake or avoiding it altogether. If alcohol is a must at any occasion, wine may be a better choice in moderation, as some studies suggest it has a lower impact on uric acid levels compared to beer.
   
   
3. Manage Stress Levels
   Stress can have a surprising impact on gout symptoms. Elevated stress levels can lead to an increase in inflammatory responses in the body, potentially triggering or worsening gout attacks. [1] While stress is unavoidable, there are some ways to keep our stress in check:
   
   
   • Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided meditation can help calm your mind and body, reducing overall inflammation.
   • Prioritize Restorative Sleep: Poor sleep can worsen stress and inflammation. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep to help your body recover and maintain a healthy inflammatory response.
   • Exercise Regularly: Gentle, low-impact exercises, like walking, cycling, or yoga, can boost mood, reduce stress hormones, and improve joint mobility without putting strain on inflamed joints.
     
     
4. Use Herbal Remedies
   Several herbs and natural supplements may help manage gout symptoms:
   
   
   • Terminalia Bellerica: This fruit is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine, known for lowering uric acid levels. As a natural xanthine oxidase inhibitor, Terminalia bellerica helps block the enzyme that produces uric acid, providing relief from gout symptoms and supporting joint health. [3]
   • Boswellia Serrata: Celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, Boswellia serrata contains the active compound AKBA, which reduces inflammation and pain. [4] This makes it an excellent option for managing gout discomfort without the side effects of traditional pain medications.
   • Celery Seed Extract: More than just a crunchy snack, celery seed extract has a long history in herbal medicine. It helps reduce joint inflammation and has diuretic properties that assist in flushing out excess uric acid, making it a helpful addition to gout management. [5]
   • Tart Cherry Extract: Tart cherries are powerful allies against gout, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. [6] Research indicates that tart cherry juice can lower uric acid levels and reduce the frequency of gout attacks, making it a tasty way to support joint health.
