10 Home Remedies For Gout
Home Remedy #9: Nettles
We would generally prefer to keep clear of nettles. They have tiny barbs on their leaves that can penetrate the skin and deliver a small dose of a mild venom that can cause an unpleasant, itchy rash. Despite this, they can still be useful to us in a variety of different ways.
Nettles actually help to flush the body of toxins, including uric acid. This is partly because of its diuretic properties, which means it stimulates the kidneys into producing more urine, which is then passed from the body. Nettles can also help to both break up and prevent uric acid crystals, which are responsible for gout.
