Introduction:
If persistent leg pain or stiff joints are slowing you down, nature might hold the remedy you're seeking. Garlic and cloves, both revered for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to relieve aches, improve circulation, and support joint function. This simple, natural recipe combines these powerful ingredients into a daily tonic that promotes mobility and comfort—without relying on synthetic medications.
Ingredients:
6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cup raw honey (preferably organic)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for taste and added vitamin C)
1 cup filtered water
Directions:
Prepare the infusion: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle simmer. Add the garlic cloves and whole cloves.
Simmer and steep: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, allowing the active compounds to release into the water.
Cool and strain: Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the mixture into a glass jar or bottle.
Add honey and lemon: Stir in the raw honey and lemon juice while the liquid is still warm but not hot, to preserve the beneficial enzymes in the honey.
Shake well: Seal the jar and shake gently to combine all ingredients.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Take 1–2 tablespoons of the elixir in the morning or before bed. You can consume it directly or mix it with a warm glass of water.
Storage: Store in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator. Use within 7–10 days for optimal potency and freshness.
Variations:
Add turmeric: Boost the anti-inflammatory benefits by adding ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric to the mixture.
Make it a tea: Skip the honey and store the garlic-clove water separately. Reheat as a tea and sweeten as needed.
Citrus twist: Replace lemon juice with orange juice for a slightly sweeter flavor and added antioxidants.
