Baby Oil & Clove Soothing Oil Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup baby oil (choose an unscented version for best results)
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves or 1 teaspoon clove oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cloves:
    • If you’re using whole cloves, lightly crush them using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon. This helps release the natural oils.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl or container, combine the baby oil with the crushed cloves (or clove oil if using).
  3. Infuse the Oil:
    • Allow the mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will let the cloves infuse their warming and soothing properties into the baby oil.
  4. Strain (optional):
    • If you used whole cloves, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the clove pieces. If you used clove oil, no need to strain.
  5. Use the Oil:
    • After 10 minutes, your soothing oil is ready to use! Apply a small amount to the skin, massaging gently. Be careful not to use on broken or irritated skin.

Benefits:

  • Baby oil is great for moisturizing and protecting the skin.
  • Cloves have natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties, making this blend potentially soothing for sore muscles or minor aches.

Important Note:
Clove oil can be strong, so always test on a small patch of skin before applying to larger areas, and avoid sensitive areas like the face. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.
