An excellent homemade solution for high uric acid is to detox the body with lemon therapy, which consists of drinking pure lemon juice every day, on an empty stomach, for 19 days.
This lemon therapy is done on an empty stomach and you should not add water or sugar to the treatment. Although it can be used for those who suffer from gastritis, this therapy is contraindicated for those who have gastric or duodenal ulcers. It is also recommended to use a straw to drink the lemon juice and not damage the tooth enamel.
Ingredients

Method of preparation
To follow the lemon therapy, you should start by taking the pure juice of 1 lemon on the first day, the juice of 2 lemons on the second day and so on until the 10th day. From the 11th day on, you should decrease 1 lemon a day until you reach 1 lemon on the 19th day, as shown in the table:

Lemon properties
Lemon has properties that decongest, detoxify the body and neutralize uric acid, one of the main causes of arthritis, arthrosis, gout and kidney stones.
Although it is considered an acidic fruit, when the lemon reaches the stomach, it becomes alkaline and this helps to alkalize the blood, fighting the excess blood acidity that is related to uric acid and gout. But, to enhance this homemade treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and reduce meat consumption in general.
