Clear & Easy | Herbal Tea for Uric Acid & Joint Comfort

Uric acid doesn't announce itself — until it does. Clear & Easy is the daily botanical practice for keeping things moving, clearing, and comfortable before it becomes a problem.

Clear & Easy is a carefully formulated loose leaf herbal blend drawing from the most trusted herbs in Western and traditional herbalism for uric acid metabolism, kidney filtration, and lymphatic clearance. Every herb earns its place. Every cup builds on the last. This is not a quick fix — it's a serious daily wellness blend for people who want to stay ahead of the problem. Caffeine-free and gentle enough for consistent daily use.

The Blend

• Celery Seed (Apium graveolens) — The lead herb of this formula. Contains 3nB (3-n-butylphthalide), a compound that directly supports healthy uric acid metabolism. A cornerstone of traditional herbal joint and urinary support protocols for centuries. Every cup delivers a fresh dose of this cornerstone compound.
• Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) — Co-lead herb. One of the most well-studied botanicals for uric acid support. Rich in minerals including iron, calcium, and magnesium. Potent anti-inflammatory and nutritive support that builds cumulatively with consistent daily use.
• Dandelion Leaf (Taraxacum officinale) — Powerful diuretic that uniquely replaces the potassium lost through increased urination — unlike pharmaceutical diuretics. Supports kidney filtration and uric acid clearance with every cup.
• Goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea) — Anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and specifically supportive of kidney tissue health. An underappreciated gem in traditional herbalism — particularly valued for its affinity for the urinary system and joint comfort.
• Cleavers (Galium aparine) — Premier lymphatic and kidney herb. Supports the body's natural filtration and elimination pathways, helping move uric acid out of tissues and toward the kidneys for elimination. The lymphatic layer is one most gut teas miss entirely.
• Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale) — Supports liver function and bile production, helping the body process and eliminate metabolic waste. A well-functioning liver is foundational to healthy uric acid clearance — what the body can't process, it recirculates.
• Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) — Deeply nourishing alterative root that supports elimination pathways through the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. Rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber. Lightly ground for improved extraction.

Flavor Profile

Clean, mildly earthy, and gently herbal — celery seed gives a distinctive savory-herbal note, nettle adds mineral depth, and dandelion leaf brings a mild pleasant bitterness. Light and easy to drink daily. Pairs well with a squeeze of lemon — which also delivers a color-shift moment if you're brewing with cold water.

How to Brew

Hot: Steep 1–2 tsp in 8 oz just-boiled water, covered, for 15 minutes. A longer steep extracts more of the active compounds from the seeds and roots. Strain and enjoy. Cold brew: 2–3 tbsp per 32 oz cold water, refrigerate 8–12 hours overnight. Both methods are therapeutically effective — cold brew is particularly convenient and pleasant for daily use. Drink 2 cups daily, morning and evening, for best results. Yield: ~10–12 cups per ounce. Caffeine-free. Small-batch blended by Bald Hill Botanicals & Apothecary in Bixby, Oklahoma.

Herbalist's Tip

Stir in 1 oz of unsweetened Montmorency tart cherry juice before drinking — anthocyanins directly support healthy uric acid levels and add a bright, pleasant flavor. Find it at most grocery stores. The therapeutic research on tart cherry and uric acid is based on juice form specifically — this is the most effective and reliable way to get the benefit.

Why Cumulative Daily Use Matters

Each cup of Clear & Easy delivers a fresh dose of uric acid metabolism support, kidney filtration compounds, and lymphatic clearing action. One cup is supportive. Two weeks of consistent daily use is where the elimination herbs begin their deeper work. Four to six weeks is where most people notice a meaningful shift in joint comfort and overall ease of movement. This is not a quick fix — it's a daily botanical practice for people who are serious about staying ahead of uric acid buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can herbal tea support healthy uric acid levels?
Traditional herbalism has long used diuretic, alterative, and metabolic herbs to support the body's natural uric acid elimination pathways. Celery seed and nettle leaf are among the most well-studied botanicals for uric acid support, each working through complementary mechanisms. Clear & Easy combines both as co-anchors, with dandelion leaf, goldenrod, and cleavers providing additional kidney filtration and lymphatic clearance support. These are traditional uses; consult your healthcare provider for any specific health concerns.

What does celery seed do for uric acid?
Celery seed (Apium graveolens) contains 3nB (3-n-butylphthalide), a compound that directly supports healthy uric acid metabolism. It is a cornerstone of traditional herbal joint and urinary support protocols and has been used for centuries specifically for this purpose. Celery seed is the lead herb in this formula for good reason.

Why is tart cherry juice recommended separately?
Organic freeze-dried tart cherry powder is difficult to source reliably, and the therapeutic research on tart cherry and uric acid is based specifically on juice form — typically Montmorency tart cherry juice. Recommending it as a juice add-in ensures you're getting the most effective, standardized form. It's widely available at most grocery stores and adds a bright, pleasant flavor to the tea.

How long until I notice a difference?
These herbs work cumulatively. Most people notice meaningful improvement in joint comfort and ease of movement after 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. Drink 2 cups daily — morning and evening — for best results. Consistency matters more than quantity.
