Social media frequently promotes a mysterious liquid that supposedly eliminates bone pain, nerve pain, cartilage pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, rheumatism, hemorrhoids, and fatigue with just two tablespoons every morning. While some natural oils or herbal extracts may have health benefits, there is no single liquid proven to treat all of these very different conditions.
Here’s what science tells us.
Why These Claims Are Unrealistic
The conditions listed in the post have completely different causes.
For example:
- 🦴 Bone pain may result from arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, or vitamin deficiencies.
- ⚡ Nerve pain can be caused by diabetes, shingles, nerve injury, or vitamin B12 deficiency.
- 😴 Insomnia may be related to stress, medications, sleep disorders, or medical conditions.
- ❤️ Anxiety and depression involve complex interactions between the brain, body, and environment.
- 🩸 Hemorrhoids are swollen veins around the rectum.
Because these conditions have different causes, one remedy cannot reliably cure them all.
Can Natural Oils Support Health?
Some edible oils contain nutrients that support overall health.
For example:
🫒 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
May support:
- Heart health
- Healthy cholesterol levels
- Reduced inflammation as part of a Mediterranean-style diet
🐟 Fish Oil
Provides omega-3 fatty acids that may help:
- Support heart health
- Improve certain inflammatory conditions
- Contribute to normal brain function
🌱 Flaxseed Oil
Contains plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and can be part of a balanced diet.
However, none of these oils cure anxiety, depression, arthritis, insomnia, or nerve pain.
