The assumption, here, is that when you talk about uric acid symptoms it's because you suffer from gout. Why have I made this assumption? Well, it's a fact that high uric acid levels in the blood often lead to needle-like crystals forming in the joints and surrounding tissue, causing the symptoms of the condition we call gout.
So, for the purposes of this short article, we are only considering uric acid as it pertains to gout. The symptoms of gout, or, I suppose we can say high uric acid symptoms are; redness, swelling, hot to touch, stiffness, inflammation and excruciating pain.

The symptoms of gout are so painful that any gout sufferer needs to get pain relief as fast as possible. Now, drug-based medications can help. These are things like NSAIDs to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. And others like Allopurinol to lower uric acid. But they only work whilst taking them, and some can have pretty nasty side effects.
But there are natural home remedies that you can use too...
And one of the most potent at relieving uric acid symptoms (gout) is bicarbonate of soda, otherwise known as baking soda. Some users have reported that they were pain-free within 2 hours, but as every body's case is different, I can't say hand on my heart that you will too. But, you should certainly get very fast pain and symptom relief nonetheless.
Here's how you take it...
Add 1 half of a teaspoon of baking soda to 8 oz (large glass) of water and stir until the baking soda has gone into solution. Then drink a glass before bed, a glass first thing in the morning, and, a glass every two to four hours during the day. But no more than 4 teaspoons of baking soda per day. Repeat until your uric acid (gout) symptoms abate.
Now, because bicarbonate of soda is very high in sodium you need to change to a salt-free diet whilst taking it. And if you have hypertension (high blood pressure) then consult your doctor for advice before using this remedy.
This is a very effective remedy for relieving uric acid symptoms. But the most important thing is to prevent further gout attacks, which can permanently damage your joints and cause kidney problems, like painful kidney stones. And if you've had just one gout attack, you're now much more likely to have even more. So do all you can to prevent your gout from recurring.
You're in luck though. There's a special gout report available online [see below] that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.
And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
