Extra Benefits You Might Notice
Beyond legs, this oil often helps with:
- Cold feet or hands (thanks to improved circulation)
- Occasional muscle cramps
- Minor nerve tingling
- Healthier-looking skin from the oil’s natural antimicrobial properties
Studies on eugenol (from cloves) and allicin (from garlic) support these traditional uses, showing potential for soothing inflammation and discomfort when applied topically.
Important Safety Tips to Keep in Mind
Natural remedies are powerful, but they’re not for everyone:
- Always do a patch test: Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours.
- Avoid broken or irritated skin.
- Don’t use near eyes or mucous membranes.
- If the warming sensation feels too strong, dilute with more carrier oil.
- Consult your doctor first if you’re pregnant, nursing, on blood thinners, or have sensitive skin—garlic can sometimes cause irritation if not properly diluted.
