Treatment of gout with folk remedies
Incorrect metabolism or its violation in the body can trigger a gout disease.
Gout occurs with excessive consumption of food rich in substances such as purines, resulting in poorly soluble salts of uric acid, the so-called urates, accumulating in the human body.
If uric acid is formed too much or poorly by the kidneys due to its evacuation from the body, the crystals of the salt of uric acid gather in druses and settle in the joint cavity.

The initiated process of gout flow leads to urolithiasis - the deposition of urate in the kidneys and inflammation of the kidneys - pyelonephritis.
