GOUT BLEND 30ML

GOUT BLEND 30ML

Drink after a meal, not before.

Adults: Drink 1 capsule daily as maintenance. During a gout attack, drink 3 capsules, three times daily. Also consider drinking 1 capsule of the Inflammation Blend regularly, as necessary in conjunction with the Gout Blend.

If unable to use it internally, apply 5 – 10 drops over the affected area/s.

We recommend using this blend with Hadassah’s Inflammation oil blend, 1 capsule daily, and the herbal Inflammation capsules, 3 capsules, three times daily.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

All our blend’s come in a 30ml glass bottle, with a glass pipette and a rubber bulb on top. Don’t forget to buy empty veggie capsules when purchasing an ingestible blend. (Our veggie capsules are now available in 90’s and 150’s).

Never pre-fill capsules for future use, as this will compromise the veggie capsule and melt. Instead, always fill the capsules just before drinking it. (But if no other option, only prepare up to 3 days’ supply. You MUST then keep them upright in the refrigerator in a marked container; to know which blend it is filled with.)

Method – open the veggie capsule, then open your blend, squeeze and release the rubber bulb to draw the oil blend up into the glass pipette dropper. Then gently squeeze the rubber bulb to fill the larger part of the open capsule. Close the capsule before drinking it. Dosage is always a full capsule of a specific blend (between 15 to 18 drops).

If you have to drink more than one capsule a day, spread them throughout the day, never more than two capsules at a time. Spreading the capsules throughout the day assists the body with proper absorption. Always good to have a very small snack/fruit before drinking capsules.

Mechanisms of Action of Active Ingredients:

1. Frankincense Oil (Boswellia serrata)

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Frankincense inhibits the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, which is involved in the synthesis of leukotrienes, molecules that promote inflammation. By reducing leukotriene production, frankincense alleviates inflammatory responses in joints affected by gout.
• Pain Reduction: Boswellic acids, the active compounds in frankincense, help reduce pain and swelling in inflamed joints by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes like cyclooxygenase (COX-2).
• Joint Protection: Frankincense has been shown to protect cartilage and reduce the degradation of connective tissue, supporting long-term joint health.

2. Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita)

• Analgesic Effect: Peppermint contains menthol, which acts as a natural pain reliever by activating cold-sensitive receptors in the skin and blocking pain signals.
• Anti-inflammatory Action: Menthol also reduces the release of pro-inflammatory substances, such as histamines, thus decreasing swelling and pain associated with gout.
• Uric Acid Modulation: Peppermint helps improve kidney function, supporting the elimination of excess uric acid through urine, reducing the risk of gout attacks.

3. Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus)

• Diuretic Effect: Lemongrass promotes urination, enhancing the excretion of uric acid, which can help prevent uric acid buildup and the formation of crystals in joints.
• Antioxidant Properties: Lemongrass contains powerful antioxidants like quercetin, which neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting joint tissues from damage.
• Anti-inflammatory: Lemongrass inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines, reducing joint inflammation and pain associated with gout flare-ups.

4. Ginger Oil (Zingiber officinale)

• Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic: Ginger oil inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes like COX-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), which are heavily involved in the inflammation process during gout attacks.
• Uric Acid Reduction: Ginger has been shown to lower serum uric acid levels, making it an important agent in both preventing and managing gout.
• Blood Circulation Enhancement: Ginger promotes healthy blood flow, reducing the accumulation of uric acid in joints and helping dissolve existing uric acid crystals.

5. Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia)

• Pain Relief: Lavender has analgesic properties that can alleviate the severe pain associated with gout attacks.
• Anti-inflammatory: It reduces inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators, helping to reduce the swelling and tenderness that come with acute gout.
• Calming Effect: Lavender has a relaxing effect on the nervous system, which can help alleviate the stress and discomfort that accompany severe gout attacks.

6. Lemon Oil (Citrus limon)

• Alkalizing Properties: Lemon oil helps maintain an alkaline environment in the body, which reduces the formation of uric acid crystals. Alkalinity helps prevent the crystallization of uric acid in joints, lowering the risk of gout flare-ups.
• Antioxidant: Lemon oil contains vitamin C and other antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress, protect joint tissues, and promote healing.
• Kidney Support: By stimulating kidney function, lemon oil promotes the elimination of uric acid from the bloodstream, preventing its buildup in joints.

7. Celery Seed Oil (Apium graveolens)

• Uric Acid Reduction: Celery seed oil enhances kidney function, promoting uric acid excretion and reducing the risk of gout attacks. It contains compounds like luteolin and 3-n-butylphthalide, which have anti-inflammatory and uric acid-lowering properties.
• Diuretic Action: Its natural diuretic effect helps flush out excess uric acid, preventing its accumulation in the bloodstream and joints.
• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: Celery seed oil reduces joint inflammation and oxidative stress, protecting joints from damage and supporting recovery during gout attacks.

8. Turmeric Oil (Curcuma longa)

• Anti-inflammatory Powerhouse: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and COX enzymes, reducing inflammation in gout-affected joints.
• Antioxidant Action: Curcumin neutralizes free radicals, preventing joint damage from oxidative stress and promoting healing in inflamed tissues.
• Uric Acid Modulation: Turmeric has been shown to lower serum uric acid levels, helping to prevent the crystallization of uric acid in joints.

9. Clove Oil (Syzygium aromaticum)

• Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic: Clove oil contains eugenol, a compound with strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. It helps reduce the intense pain and swelling associated with gout.
• Antioxidant: Clove oil is rich in antioxidants that reduce oxidative damage to joint tissues, protecting them from further injury during gout flare-ups.
• Immune Modulation: Clove oil helps regulate the immune response, preventing excessive inflammation around uric acid crystals.

10. Olive Oil (Olea europaea)

• Joint Lubrication: Olive oil provides healthy fats that help lubricate joints, easing movement and reducing pain in inflamed joints.
• Anti-inflammatory: Olive oil contains oleocanthal, a compound that inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes like COX-1 and COX-2, reducing pain and swelling in joints affected by gout.
• Cholesterol Management: Olive oil improves lipid profiles and supports overall metabolic health, indirectly reducing the risk of gout by promoting healthy uric acid levels.

Biological Mechanism of the Blend:

This Gout Relief Blend acts through multiple mechanisms to combat both the root cause of gout and its painful symptoms:

1. Uric Acid Reduction: Ingredients like celery seed, ginger, lemon, and lemongrass support kidney function and increase the excretion of uric acid through urine. By lowering serum uric acid levels, the blend helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in joints.
2. Anti-inflammatory Action: Turmeric, frankincense, ginger, and clove oils target key inflammatory pathways, inhibiting enzymes like COX-2 and NF-kB, responsible for the intense inflammatory response seen during gout attacks.
3. Pain Relief: Peppermint, lavender, and clove oils provide immediate pain relief through analgesic effects, reducing discomfort during acute gout attacks.
4. Joint Protection: The blend’s antioxidant properties (from ingredients like turmeric, lemon, and frankincense) help neutralize free radicals, protecting joint tissues from damage and reducing the long-term impact of gout on joint health.

Who Should Use This Blend:

This Gout Relief Blend is suitable for individuals who:

• Suffer from recurrent gout attacks.
• Have high uric acid levels or hyperuricemia.
• Experience joint pain and swelling related to uric acid buildup.
• Want to prevent gout flare-ups through natural means.
• Seek to manage chronic inflammation in joints associated with gout.

GOUT BLEND 30ML

This ingestible blend is formulated to address the symptoms and underlying causes of gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis triggered by high levels of uric acid in the blood. It is designed for individuals suffering from acute gout attacks and those seeking to prevent future episodes. The blend helps reduce uric acid levels, ease joint pain, and decrease inflammation, promoting long-term joint health.

Understanding Gout:

Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by the deposition of uric acid crystals in joints, particularly the big toe, causing severe pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Uric acid is a byproduct of purine metabolism, and when present in excess, it crystallizes in joints, leading to inflammation and pain.

Symptoms of Gout:

• Sudden, severe joint pain, often at night.
• Swelling, warmth, and redness of the affected joint.
• Tenderness and stiffness in the joint.
• Limited range of motion in the joint.
• Commonly affects the big toe, but can also involve ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.

Difference Between Gout and General Inflammation:

• Gout: A specific form of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated uric acid levels that crystallize in joints. It is characterized by acute, sudden attacks of severe joint pain, primarily due to immune system activation against uric acid crystals.
• Inflammation: A broader immune response triggered by various causes such as infection, injury, or chronic disease. Inflammation generally involves redness, heat, pain, and swelling, but the underlying triggers are diverse and not specifically tied to uric acid.
