Celery: Another Cure For Gout

By:


There is a huge debate on whether celery can cure gout. Most of the people who eat celery, stocks and seed extract to cure gout hopes that celery can cure gout. Some of them seem to be convinced that it can actually cure gout; most of them hope that it can reduce the pain caused during the gout attack. Some others are not convinced that it can actually cure gout. From the people who have said that celery can actually cure gout, it has not worked overnight but has taken a lot of time. In that sense, how can celery actually bring relief and comfort from pain?

The properties of celery ensure that it can promote urination which in turn can help in reducing the uric acid levels from the body. In other words as celery promotes urination to reduce the levels of uric acid from the body and is commonly prescribed as a drug in medication for gout though people tend to think that celery has more power in curing gout.

If celery can actually cure gout it is because of the one ingredient or one substance in celery that helps in doing so. This ingredient is 3nB which is actually 3-n-Butylpthalide. Most people who are not aware of gout will not even know about this substance. However it is the substance in celery that can give it the edge to cure gout in most of the people.

There are a couple of well organized studies that shows celery do cure gout. The test involved using celery that was high in 3nB content on 15 people. All these people were given 34 mg of celery twice a day. Another group which was of about 70 people received a larger amount of celery about 75 mg twice a day for about two fortnights. In both instances the participants reported that the pain levels and discomfort from gout was considerably less after using celery. Also there were no unwanted side-effects with the use of celery.

3nB in celery works by inhibiting the xanthide oxidase and restricting the production of uric acid in the liver. Celery also contains club nights which can also act as anti-inflammatory drugs. The celery also reduced pain at least in the case studies mentioned above.

All in all, there are a couple of experts that advocate the use of celery to reduce pain and inflammation in gout attacks and there are also a couple of studies that show results that celery can indeed cure gout. If celery does cure gout, it is one of the most natural remedies in the market today. And the problem with celery is that it does not cure gout problems immediately and you will have to take celery for a long time.
