Introduction
For those dealing with persistent leg pain or the discomfort caused by arthritis, seeking natural remedies that provide relief is often a priority. The combination of cloves, garlic, and olive oil has long been recognized for its therapeutic properties. This simple, yet effective, remedy can help reduce inflammation, soothe aching muscles, and improve circulation. Whether you suffer from chronic leg pain or occasional flare-ups, this soothing blend offers a natural solution to promote comfort and healing.
Ingredients:
10 whole cloves
4 cloves of garlic (fresh)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly to release their beneficial compounds. Next, lightly crush the cloves with a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to unlock their essential oils.
Infuse the Oil: In a small saucepan, combine the crushed garlic, cloves, and olive oil. Heat the mixture over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the ingredients do not burn.
Cool and Strain: After the oil has been infused with the aromatic properties of garlic and cloves, remove it from heat and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, strain the oil to remove the garlic and cloves.
Store the Remedy: Transfer the infused oil into a clean, airtight container for storage. This remedy can be kept in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Application: For immediate relief, massage the infused oil directly into the affected areas of your legs or joints. The oil's soothing properties will help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It is particularly effective when applied before bed, as the soothing ingredients promote relaxation.
Storage: Store the remedy in an airtight glass jar or bottle. Keep it in a cool, dark location, away from sunlight. You can store it for up to two weeks. If you notice any signs of spoilage, such as an off smell, discard the oil.
