🧄🌶️ Garlic and Black Pepper Remedy Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:

• 10 cloves of fresh garlic

• 1 teaspoon of whole black peppercorns (or ½ teaspoon ground black pepper)

• 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil or mustard oil (anti-inflammatory carrier)

• Optional: 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (enhances anti-inflammatory effects)

🧪 Preparation:

1. Crush the garlic cloves lightly to release allicin (active compound).

2. If using whole black pepper, lightly crush them to activate piperine.

3. Heat the oil in a pan on low heat.

4. Add the garlic and black pepper (and turmeric if using) to the oil.

5. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes — do not let the garlic burn.

6. Remove from heat and let it cool.

7. Strain the oil into a clean glass jar or bottle.

8. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.

💆 How to Use:

🔹 External Application:

• Warm a small amount of the oil slightly.

• Massage gently into the legs, joints, or affected areas for 10–15 minutes.

• For best results, use daily before bed and cover with a warm cloth or wrap.

🔹 Internal Use (Optional and Only if Approved by Doctor):

• Take ½ teaspoon of the oil once a day, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.

• Do not exceed 1 teaspoon per day.

• Avoid internal use if you have gastric issues, ulcers, or are on blood thinners.

🧠 Why It Might Work:

• Garlic: Contains allicin, which is anti-inflammatory, improves circulation, and may reduce pain.

• Black Pepper: Contains piperine, which enhances absorption of nutrients and acts as a natural pain reliever.

• Olive/Mustard Oil: Known for anti-inflammatory and circulatory benefits, especially when used topically.
