ROSEMARY & CLOVE WELLNESS ELIXIR

What You’ll Need:

For the Infusion Base:

• 2 cups water (filtered)
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried)
• 6–8 whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for sweetness if drinking)
• Juice of ½ lemon (optional, for added antioxidants)

For Hair or Skin Use (Optional Second Step):

• ½ cup carrier oil (such as coconut, olive, or jojoba)
• 1 tablespoon of your rosemary & clove infusion (from above)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Infusion

1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil.
2. Add the rosemary leaves and whole cloves.
3. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, uncovered.
4. Turn off the heat and let it steep for another 10 minutes to draw out the beneficial oils and nutrients.
5. Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve.
6. Add honey and lemon juice (if desired) while it’s still warm. Result:** A fragrant golden-brown elixir packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential oils.

Option 1: For Drinking (Digestive & Immune Support)

• Enjoy ½ cup warm after meals to ease digestion, fight bloating, and boost circulation.
• Drink once daily to benefit from rosemary’s detox power and cloves’ gut-healing properties. Tip:** Add a slice of fresh ginger or a cinnamon stick while simmering for extra warmth and flavor.

Option 2: For Hair Growth & Scalp Health

1. Once the infusion has cooled, pour a small amount into a spray bottle.
2. Spray directly onto your scalp and massage gently for 3–5 minutes.
3. Leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse with mild shampoo. Use 3 times a week** to promote growth, reduce dandruff, and add shine.

Option 3: For Sore Muscles & Joints

1. Warm your carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil) slightly.
2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of your rosemary & clove infusion.
3. Massage into sore or stiff areas in circular motions. The rosemary reduces inflammation while cloves help relieve pain naturally.

Option 4: For Glowing Skin

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of your cooled infusion with 2 tablespoons rose water.
2. Store in a small spray bottle and refrigerate.
3. Mist your face in the morning and evening after cleansing. The antioxidants in rosemary brighten the skin, while clove’s antibacterial action prevents blemishes.
