Peel the garlic: Start by peeling 5-6 fresh garlic cloves. Make sure to crush them slightly with the side of a knife to release the active compounds like allicin.
Soak the garlic: Place the crushed garlic cloves into a clean glass jar. Pour 1 cup of olive oil (or your preferred carrier oil) over the garlic. The oil should fully submerge the garlic.
Let it steep: Seal the jar tightly and leave it in a cool, dark place for 5-7 days. This allows the garlic to infuse into the oil. You can shake it gently once a day to help the infusion process.
Strain the oil (optional): After a week, you can strain out the garlic pieces, or leave them in if you like a stronger potency.
Use the oil: Massage the infused oil into your legs, focusing on areas of pain or stiffness. You can do this once or twice a day for best results.
