Oils That May Help with Uric Acid

Castor Oil – Often applied as a warm compress on painful joints to reduce inflammation.

Olive Oil – Rich in antioxidants and healthy fats that may lower uric acid buildup.

Flaxseed Oil – Contains omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation in joints.

Lemon Essential Oil – Thought to support detox and alkalize the body (taken only in diluted form, not pure).

Celery Seed Oil – Traditionally used for cleansing kidneys and helping uric acid elimination.

Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa) – Has anti-inflammatory and mild uric acid–lowering properties.

⚠️ Important Notes

Oils do not directly flush uric acid like medicines (e.g., allopurinol). Instead, they support the body in reducing inflammation and improving kidney function.

The most effective natural way to reduce uric acid is:

Drinking plenty of water

Avoiding red meat, organ meats, and alcohol

Eating cherries, celery, and foods rich in vitamin C
