Natural Oil Recipe for Uric Acid, Inflammation, and Cravings
Ingredients:
- Jojoba Oil (or Sweet Almond Oil) – 2 tbsp (Base oil, helps nourish and carry the essential oils to the skin)
- Lavender Essential Oil – 10 drops (anti-inflammatory, helps with pain and relaxation)
- Frankincense Essential Oil – 8 drops (reduces inflammation, promotes healing)

Instructions:
- Mix the Base Oil: Start by pouring the jojoba or sweet almond oil into a small glass bottle (preferably a 2 oz size).
- Add the Essential Oils: Add each essential oil drop by drop into the bottle, starting with the lavender and working through to the cinnamon.
- Shake Gently: Once the oils are added, close the bottle and shake gently to combine the oils thoroughly.
- Use: Apply a small amount to areas of concern, like the joints (especially where uric acid buildup is common, such as the big toe or knees). Massage it in gently in circular motions.
- Store: Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place. The shelf life of this blend is around 6 months.
How It Helps:
- Lavender and Frankincense: Reduce inflammation and help calm pain, particularly in joints affected by high uric acid (gout).
- Peppermint: Cools the skin and provides relief from discomfort while also curbing cravings.
- Ginger: Naturally anti-inflammatory, it can help soothe and reduce swelling in the joints.
- Lemon: Helps detoxify the body and reduce cravings, while also boosting circulation to the area.
- Turmeric: Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effects, it’s great for conditions like gout.
- Cinnamon: Can help reduce sugar cravings and balance blood sugar levels, which can help prevent excess uric acid production.
Additional Tips:
- Hydration: Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day, as hydration is key in managing uric acid levels.
- Diet: Eating a diet low in purines (such as limiting red meat and alcohol) can help maintain healthy uric acid levels.
