Ingredients

250 ml mustard oil
250 ml sesame/gingelly oil
25 Big cloves of garlic sliced or chopped, about 1/2 cup
60-70 cloves/laung about 1 tbsp
2 tbsp black sesame seeds/kala til

2 tbsp fenugreek seeds/methi dana
5 tbsp aloe vera gel I used fresh,you can use whats available
5 nos 2 inch sticks of cinnamon
20 small pieces of camphor/crushed It came in small tablet form
1 tbsp turmeric powder optional

Instructions

Heat mustard and sesame oil on medium and add garlic, cinnamon and all ingredients except turmeric and camphor.
Cook on low till garlic burns and turns black
Remove from heat and add turmeric(optional because it can stain your clothes) and camphor
Leave overnight for the oil to absorb further
Strain the next day and store in glass container
Apply on affected muscles and joints and massage gently

Notes

You can use only sesame oil or mustard oil if both oils are not available. I have not added turmeric as I didn't want the oil to stain my clothes or bedding. Crushing the camphor helps it to mix well with the oil. Cook the oil on low flame. After the garlic burns and turns black, remove from heat and leave overnight. Strain the oil after 12-24 hours.
