- 5 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 tsp whole cloves (or ½ tsp ground)
- ½ cup olive or coconut oil
Instructions:

- Add garlic and cloves.
- Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Allow it to cool, then strain and store in a glass jar.
How to Use:

- Massage in circular motions to help it absorb and improve blood flow.

Ingredients:
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 4–5 whole cloves
- 2 cups water
- (Optional) 1 tsp honey
Instructions:

With consistent use over a few weeks, many users report:
- Reduced joint stiffness and pain
- Lighter, less swollen legs
- Improved blood flow and easier movement
- Relief from varicose vein discomfort
