Abstract High uric acid levels in gout arthritis patients are a significant health issue, particularly in the working area of Sibolangit Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency. This study aimed to analyze the effect of bay leaf herbal therapy on reducing uric acid levels. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest was applied, involving 62 respondents divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received boiled bay leaf water therapy twice daily for 14 days. Results showed a more significant decrease in uric acid levels in the intervention group compared to the control. The average uric acid level decreased from 10.87 mg/dL to 7.90 mg/dL. Bay leaf therapy proved effective in reducing uric acid levels due to its flavonoid content and diuretic effects. This study supports the use of herbal therapy as a non-pharmacological approach in community nursing. Keywords: herbal therapy, bay leaf, uric acid, community nursing, gout arthritis.
