My mom got gout in her feet and thumb joints, ususally she is in pain for a good month and rolls around in a wheel chair, this time we did a technique called resistive stretching, done with breath work, and can be used in acute stages. Doing this work with my mom got rid of her pain and swelling. It was awesome to be able to help her in this way. If anyone wants to learn it, please feel free to contact me... or check it out on the web... they have pictures ;) ...lol.
Good thing I have a great stock of cherries in season now. I'll eat some extras this morning!
Black cherry juice is very good to relieve gout. Buy concentrated, mix 1 part juice to 5 parts water. Flushes uric acid out of joints.
Do not let her eat too much beef, tomatoes, potatoes, or eggplant. Drink lots of water:)) That with the exercises should make her feel like a new person!! Hugs and Blessings.
