10 Home Remedies For Gout
Home Remedy #5: Cramp Bark
Cramp bark, also known as Viburnum opulus, is a plant that grows naturally in North America. It has long been used by Native Americans to help cure various ailments, including cramps, spasms, mumps, fluid retention, and even eye disorders. Native Americans would also sometimes smoke the plant as a substitute for tobacco.
Cramp bark has also been shown to help reduce the levels of uric acid in the blood, and this will help to relieve you of gout. It could also help more directly by being able to relieve swelling and, therefore, ease pain. Cramp bark is fairly easy to find and comes available as an extract and in other forms.
