  • A touch of positive energy at your fingertips:

In some folk traditions, garlic is seen as a protective talisman. And if you’re not the superstitious type, this small gesture can still have a  real impact  : burning garlic offers you a real moment of centering. Like a small  energetic reset  of your space… and your mind.

Try it  after a hectic day or when you feel the need to clear your mind at home.

  • A breath of well-being for your sinuses:

Got a cold or congestion? While not a substitute for medical treatment, the warm smoke from a burnt garlic clove can  help clear your airways slightly . A 100% natural little boost, try it especially before bed for a more peaceful night.

  • A gentle alternative to keep unwanted pests away:

Can’t stand mosquitoes anymore? Good news: they hate the smell of garlic! A lightly burned clove becomes a  simple and eco-friendly natural repellent .  Goodbye to industrial scented candles, hello to a natural and effective method.

  • The unexpected little boost:

Some studies suggest that the specific smell of garlic may have a  positive effect  on mental clarity. Less stress, more focus, clearer air… It might be the perfect combination for a moment of meditation, reading, or simply to find a little calm in a  busy daily life .

  • An air freshener like no other:
