Baby Oil and Cloves Elixir

Baby Oil and Cloves Elixir

by

This traditional DIY elixir blends clove’s medicinal properties with the gentle softness of baby oil. It’s widely used for improving skin texture, hair strength, joint comfort, and even natural body fragrance. Many users claim dramatic improvements in skin glow, scalp health, and pain relief with regular use.

🧪 Ingredients:

  • Johnson’s Baby Oil (or any gentle, mineral-based baby oil) – 200 ml
  • Whole Cloves (laung) – About 2 tablespoons (30–40 cloves)

🔥 Preparation Steps:

🥄 Quick Method (as seen in the image):

  1. Open the baby oil bottle.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of whole cloves directly into the bottle.
  3. Let it sit for 10 seconds to several hours—the longer it sits, the more the oil infuses.
  4. Shake gently before each use.

🌙 Enhanced Infusion Method (More Potent):

  1. Pour the oil and cloves into a glass jar with a lid.
  2. Leave it in a warm, sunlit spot for 3–5 days.
  3. Shake the jar daily to speed up infusion.
  4. Strain if desired (optional), or leave cloves in for continuous infusion.

💆 How to Use:

✅ For Glowing Skin:

  • Leave for 30 minutes or overnight, then shampoo.
  • Helps with dandruff, itchiness, and hair fall.
