💡 Why This Salve Is a Game Changer
When it comes to home remedies that actually work, this one checks all the boxes:
-
100% natural
-
Easy to make
-
Effective for multiple conditions
It combines the healing properties of garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and beeswax—a blend that promotes circulation, reduces inflammation, and soothes painful joints.
🌿 Ingredients You’ll Need
-
4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
-
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
-
100g of olive oil
-
1 tablespoon of beeswax
-
A bit of water for the double boiler
🧄 Garlic – Nature’s Circulatory Booster
Garlic is a powerhouse of vitamins (C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9) and minerals like calcium, magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and iron. It’s known to improve blood flow, reduce clot formation, and support heart and vein health.
👉 Chop the garlic finely to release its therapeutic oils.
🌱 Rosemary – The Anti-Aging Herb
Rosemary is famous for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It protects cells from damage, fights oxidative stress, and stimulates blood circulation—making it ideal for varicose vein relief and joint care.
👉 Add a fresh sprig to infuse its goodness into the oil.
🐝 Beeswax – Nature’s Healing Shield
Beeswax helps:
-
Lock in moisture
-
Heal minor wounds and cracks
-
Act as a natural antibacterial and anesthetic agent
It thickens the salve and enhances skin absorption. Beeswax is commonly used in lip balms, creams, and salves due to its skin-protecting qualities.
🫒 Olive Oil – Liquid Gold for the Skin
Olive oil is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. It soothes inflammation, deeply moisturizes, and acts as an excellent carrier oil for herbs and garlic.
👉 Use extra virgin olive oil for the best effect.
🍯 How to Make the Ointment

Set up a double boiler (a bowl placed over simmering water).

Pour in 100g of olive oil and add the chopped garlic and rosemary.
-
Simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Add 1 tablespoon of beeswax and let it melt fully.
-
Strain the oil through a fine cloth or sieve into a clean jar.
