π§ Step 5 (Optional): Use as a Compress
- For deeper healing (e.g., joint pain), cover the area with a cloth or gauze.
- You can even apply a hot water bottle over the cloth for 15β30 minutes to allow deeper penetration.
π Step 6: Let It Sit
- Allow the mixture to sit for 20β30 minutes, or even overnight if treating stiff joints or pain.
- Rinse off gently with warm water and pat dry.

β οΈ Cautions & Tips:
- Always do a patch test before using the mixture over large areas.
