Combine Baby Oil with Cloves An Easy Natural Treatment for Pain, Skin, and Blood Flow
Introduction
While baby oil is a mild, calming moisturizer that aids in delivering nutrients deeply into the skin, cloves are noted for their potent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and warming qualities. Cloves and baby oil mix to create a natural massage oil that may help with blood circulation, joint stiffness, muscular pain relief, and skin nourishment. This mixture is ideal for massages, scalp treatments, or pain relief rubs because it is simple to make, has a lovely scent, and can be saved for later use.
Ingredients
Half a cup of baby oil (preferably any light, fragrance-free kind)
Ten to fifteen entire cloves
One tiny glass container or jar with a lid
Directions
Warm up the oil.
Fill a small saucepan with ½ cup baby oil.
Do not boil; instead, warm gently over low heat for two to three minutes.
Include the cloves:
Add 10 to 15 whole cloves and infuse over very low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
You’ll detect a little darker hue and a nice, spicy scent.
Strain after cooling:
Take off the heat and let the mixture cool fully.
After straining to get rid of the cloves, pour the oil into a sanitized glass bottle or jar.
Use and store:
For up to three months, store in a cold, dark location.
Before using, give it a gentle shake.
How to Apply
Apply a light massage to aching joints or muscles one to two times a day to relieve discomfort.
Wear socks and rub your feet before bed if you have cold feet or poor circulation.
For skin: To soften and hydrate dry areas, apply a few drops.
For the scalp: To promote circulation and lessen dandruff, massage a few drops into the scalp.
Advice
Allow the oil to remain for two to three days before filtering for more potent cloves.
Cloves can be reused for a second batch after being slightly reheated.
To be sure there won’t be any irritation, always test a small portion of the skin first.
Don’t apply near sensitive regions or eyes.
