Tips

  • The brine can be used in cultured mayo, dressings, and over fish.
  • Mix the brine with sparkling water and baking soda for joint flare-ups, as its pH becomes nearly 7, which can help pull uric acid crystals out of joints.
  • For gout, this is described as the most consistent thing found.
  • A spoon with raw honey in the morning can complement the salty, slightly sweet taste.
