Uric acid is a waste substance that results from the decomposition of purines from certain foods.

These are filtered from the bloodstream by your kidneys and subsequently eliminated through your urine.

The problem is that sometimes these crystals accumulate in excessive amounts. Little by little, they form calcifications that affect the health of your urinary system.

As a consequence, pain can originate in one of the side of your back. Plus, you may have difficulties urinating, and experience burning and other uncomfortable symptoms that affect your quality of life.

Fortunately, there are several remedies of natural origin that help to dissolve them before they cause more complications.
