Ingredients:
- 5–6 cloves of fresh garlic (crushed)
- ½ medium onion (grated or finely chopped)
- ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil
- (Optional) A few drops of lemon juice for extra antioxidant power
Instructions:
- Combine the crushed garlic, onion, and olive oil in a clean glass jar.
- Seal the jar and let the mixture sit for 24–48 hours to infuse.
- Strain the oil to remove garlic/onion bits, keeping only the liquid.
- Store the oil in a dark, cool place or refrigerate.
How to Use It:
- Apply at night: Rub a small amount of the infused oil gently onto affected areas.
- Massage in circular motions: This stimulates circulation.
- Wrap with a cloth: Leave it on for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Rinse off in the morning if left overnight.
Repeat this daily for at least 2 weeks to start noticing visible results.
Tips for Better Results:
- Stay active: walking helps circulation.
- Elevate your legs during rest to reduce swelling.
- Stay hydrated and eat foods rich in vitamin C and rutin (like citrus fruits and apples).
