Mix Cloves with Vaseline ~ A Secret Nobody Will Tell You ~ Thank Me Later

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves or 8–10 whole cloves, finely crushed

Instructions

1. If using whole cloves, crush them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Vaseline and ground cloves.
3. Mix thoroughly until the cloves are evenly distributed throughout the Vaseline.
4. 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.
