How to Use It:
- Warm a small amount between your hands.
- Massage gently upward from ankles toward the heart for 5–10 minutes, ideally nightly.
- Optional: Wear light cotton socks afterward for comfort.
- For those without stomach sensitivity, some take 1 tsp internally on an empty stomach a few times weekly (consult a doctor first).
- Aim for daily use over 4–6 weeks, then take a short break if desired.
Many report a soothing sensation similar to a relaxing massage, with lighter legs over consistent use.
