- 100g of olive oil (preferably extra virgin)
- 1 tablespoon of beeswax

🌟 Key Benefits of Each Ingredient
🧄 Garlic – Boosts Circulation Naturally
Garlic is loaded with vitamins and minerals that support blood flow and heart health. It’s especially helpful for tired, heavy legs or early signs of vein issues.
👉 Tip: Chop it finely to release its natural oils.
🌱 Rosemary – Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory
This aromatic herb helps calm swelling and supports blood circulation. It’s long used in traditional medicine for joint pain and varicose vein relief.
👉 Use a fresh sprig for best results.
🐝 Beeswax – Locks in Moisture & Heals
Beeswax creates a natural protective layer over the skin, helping to heal cracks, soothe irritation, and hold the herbal oils in place longer. It also adds the perfect creamy texture.
🫒 Olive Oil – Deep Nourishment for Skin
Rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, olive oil moisturizes, soothes, and carries the healing properties of garlic and rosemary deep into your skin.
👉 Go for high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
🧴 How to Make the Healing Ointment
- Prepare a double boiler (place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water).
- Pour in the olive oil, then add the chopped garlic and rosemary.
- Simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add beeswax and let it melt completely.
- Strain the mixture through a fine cloth into a clean glass jar.
