When joints ache or veins throb, our first instinct is usually to dig in and massage the area as deeply and firmly as possible. But when dealing with varicose veins or highly inflamed joints, deep tissue pressure can actually cause more irritation.
For the best results, use a gentle, upward motion. Warm a dime-sized amount of the garlic and clove oil in the palms of your hands. Starting at your ankles, gently sweep your hands upward toward your knees and thighs. This light, upward stroking supports your body’s natural venous return—helping move pooled fluid back up the leg rather than trapping it down low.
Once applied, wrap the joint or leg in a warm, dry towel for ten minutes to help open the pores and allow the oil’s warming sensation to penetrate deeply.
