Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Black seed oil, derived from Nigella sativa, has been used in traditional medicine systems, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, for a variety of ailments including inflammatory conditions. Its use for gout is primarily based on its historical application as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic remedy. Traditional healers have recommended black seed oil to reduce joint pain and swelling, symptoms typical of gout. The oil contains thymoquinone, which has shown anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies, but direct research on its effectiveness specifically for gout in humans is lacking.

There is limited scientific evidence evaluating black seed oil for gout. Most available studies have explored its general anti-inflammatory properties rather than gout-specific outcomes. No large-scale clinical trials have confirmed its efficacy or safety for gout treatment. Therefore, while black seed oil is used in traditional practices for managing symptoms associated with gout, this use is not strongly supported by scientific data. Anyone considering its use for gout should consult with a healthcare professional and not substitute it for proven medical therapies.
