1 red onion
3–4 fresh garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
Preparation:
Peel the onion and garlic cloves.
Chop them finely.
Crush or blend into a paste.
Add the oil and mix until creamy.
Store in a clean glass container.
Pro Tip: After crushing the garlic, let it rest for about 10 minutes before mixing with the oil. This allows more allicin to form — one of garlic’s key active compounds.
How to Apply (5–10 minutes)
Wash and dry your legs thoroughly.
Apply a small amount of the mixture to the areas that feel heavy.
Massage gently with upward circular motions (toward the heart).
Continue for 5–10 minutes.
Leave on for 30–60 minutes, then rinse well.
For an extra refreshing finish, some people finish with a quick rinse of cool water.
