Not only can gout pain be agonizing, it can also be debilitating.   Even taking medications you can still have long term effects from having gout such as liver disease, kidney stones, and possibly even renal failure.   Gout is nothing to take lightly.

So what can you do?   Try eating fruits.  There are many fruits that make excellent natural remedies for gout.   Let's take a look at one that is often overlooked.

Lemons are great at helping combat this painful disease.  They help go to the core of the problem, too much uric acid production.  Lemons have a high dose of vitamin C which has been shown to reduce uric acid levels when taken in proper amounts on a regular basis.

Another benefit of using lemons are they contain potassium.  This is helpful because potassium helps put uric acid into a liquid form so the body can more readily get rid of it.   This is important because the body needs to flush the excess uric acid to prevent it from building up in your joints which is what causes a gout attack.

Drinking fresh lemon juice can be helpful also.  It is important to use fresh versus store bought because lemon juice when it is first squeezed becomes alkaline.  Whereas drinking store bought lemon juice, it has turned back into an acidic form.  Having your body in an alkaline state versus an acidic state is a very important step in getting rid of gout.  You can buy a juicer or squeeze the lemons yourself and add them to a glass of water.  Drink one glass in the morning and one in the evening  just prior to bed.

Give this natural remedy for gout a try.  If you are consistent, you should see your number of gout attacks start to diminish.
