Gout is a type of arthritis. It causes joint pain that is quite similar to osteoarthritis. This type of arthritis is caused by increased uric acid buildup in your blood. The uric acid then accumulates into your joints and causes inflammation, which results in joint pain and discomfort.

However, there are some natural remedies for gout that can be helpful.  

• Cherries
  Increasing your daily intake over two days reduces the risk of gout attacks by up to 35 percent in people who already have gout. Cherries have high levels of anthocyanins, which is an anti-inflammatory compound. Several studies have proven that people who consume cherries daily are known to show symptom-reducing benefits. Cherries can be consumed as whole fruit, supplement, or juice. The risk of gout attack decreases by 75% if a person consumes cherries in addition to the medication.  
• Magnesium
  Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral and is a prominent natural remedy for gout. Magnesium deficiency can aggravate the inflammatory stress in the body. So, if you add adequate magnesium proportions in your diet, the inflammation in the body can be reduced. Acceptable magnesium consumption levels also promote a healthier and lower uric acid level, reducing overall gout risk. For this, you can add magnesium supplements in your diet or consume foods rich in magnesium. 
• Stay hydrated
  A person with gout tends to experience significant inflammation and swelling. One of the best ways to reduce swelling is by keeping yourself hydrated. For this, you should increase your fluid consumption, which can trigger the kidney to release excess fluid. This can reduce inflammation in a person with gout. In addition to water, you should also consume various other fluids, such as herbal teas and broths. Moreover, it would be best to avoid sodas and alcohol strictly as they have high purine content.  
• Celery
  Celery is a popular remedy used for treating urinary issues. For relieving yourself of gout, the seeds and extract of celery are prominent home remedies. It is believed that celery reduces inflammation. If you have gout, you should consume celery multiple times in a day, particularly in the form of juice, raw celery sticks, seeds, or extract.
• Use cold packs
  If your pain is not too severe, try cold packs and compress on the joints. It can help reduce inflammation and soothe yourself from joint pain. For this, you can take a thin towel and wrap some ice in it. Then apply it continuously onto your joints for about 20 minutes multiple times in a day. If you have nerve problems, do not apply ice onto your feet or hands.
• Hot application
  You can soak your inflamed joint in hot water to relieve yourself from the pain. This method is recommended only when inflammation is not severe. Alternating between cold and hot applications can be beneficial.
