Ingredients
- 10 cloves (whole)
- 5 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup (250 ml) extra virgin olive oil (or coconut oil)
- Small glass jar with tight lid
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly with the side of a knife to release more natural oils.
- Lightly crush the whole cloves (the spice) as well.
- Combine:
- Place the crushed garlic and cloves into the clean glass jar.
- Pour the olive oil (or coconut oil) over them until fully covered.
- Infuse:
- Seal the jar tightly.
- Store it in a cool, dark place for 2–3 days to allow the oil to absorb the properties of the garlic and cloves. Shake gently once a day.
- Strain:
- After 3 days, strain the oil to remove the solids.
- Pour the infused oil into a clean bottle or jar for storage.
- How to Use:
- Gently warm a small amount of the oil by rubbing it between your palms.
- Massage it onto the affected joints or areas of pain for 5–10 minutes.
- For best results, apply 2–3 times daily.
Tip: Always do a small patch test first to check for any skin irritation. Store the oil in a cool, dark place and use within 2 weeks for maximum freshness.
