Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves or 8–10 whole cloves, finely crushed
Instructions
- If using whole cloves, crush them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
- In a small bowl, combine the Vaseline and ground cloves.
- Mix thoroughly until the cloves are evenly distributed throughout the Vaseline.
- Transfer the mixture into a small, airtight container.
💡 Suggested Uses:
- Apply to the skin for a warming, slightly numbing sensation (clove oil contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic).
- Some people use this as a lip balm, to soothe toothaches (externally, never inside the mouth), or as a homemade chest rub.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any irritation or allergic reaction.
- Not recommended for use on broken skin or for children under 2 years old.
- This is not a substitute for medical treatment. If you have any concerns, consult a healthcare provider.
