Can Uric Acid Levels Be Controlled Naturally Without Medication? - #15124

My uric acid levels have been increasing over the past few years, and it’s starting to affect my daily life. A few months ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in my big toe. At first, I thought maybe I had bumped it against something, but the pain was so intense that even the bedsheet touching it felt unbearable. After getting some tests done, my doctor confirmed that my uric acid levels were 8.5 mg/dL, which is above normal. Since then, I’ve had similar episodes of pain, mostly in my toes and sometimes in my knees. My joints feel stiff in the mornings, and even though I don’t have pain all the time, I feel like my body is constantly inflamed. The doctor prescribed some medication, but I really want to manage my uric acid naturally. I’ve tried drinking more water and cutting down on red meat, but I also read that certain vegetables like spinach and tomatoes can increase uric acid. Is that true? I thought vegetables were supposed to be healthy. Also, does Ayurveda recommend any herbs or dietary changes specifically to reduce uric acid? Would love to know if anyone here has successfully lowered their uric acid without relying on lifelong medication. Are there any Ayurvedic massages or detox methods that actually work?
