Precautions and contraindications:

Clove essential oil can cause skin and mucous membrane irritation; Clove bud essential oil can cause dermatitis in some people. Clove buds are the least toxic of the three types of clove essential oils (buds, leaves, stem) due to the lowest percentage of the eugenol molecule. Use only sparingly at low dilution in base oil (less than 1 percent).

• Contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Do not use essential oil for intravenous or intramuscular injections
• Do not apply essential oil directly to mucous membranes, nose, eyes, ear canal, etc
• Never heat clove essential oil for diffusion. Use only a special diffuser for spraying essential oils

Methods of use:

Oral hygiene: Clove oil has cleansing and soothing properties that help improve oral hygiene. Add a drop of clove oil to your toothpaste to whiten and refresh your teeth. Mix to apply it to your teeth only. Avoid contact with gums or skin.

Inhalation: Eugenol is the dominant compound in clove oil. Eugenol helps clear blocked and blocked airways for clean breathing. To take advantage of this benefit, inhale the clove aroma directly from the bottle or spray in a diffuser, or use a personal inhaler.

Topical Spot Application: Dilute clove oil with any carrier oil, moisturizer, lotion, or cream to apply to the skin. It helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, blemishes and discoloration. The concentration of this essential oil dilution is up to 1%.

Therapeutic massage: clove oil provides a feeling of warmth and comfort, relaxes stiff muscles and relieves muscle pain. Mix 10 drops of clove oil with 5 tablespoons of carrier oil and warm up the muscles with massaging movements.

Diffuse: Add a few drops of clove oil to a diffuser and run it for 15-20 minutes to uplift your mood.

Laundry Spray: Get rid of unwanted laundry and sheet odors with clove essential oil laundry spray. Create a spray by mixing 10 drops of clove oil and 10 drops of orange oil and fill the rest of the spray bottle with distilled water.

A rejuvenating bath: You can rejuvenate your skin and enhance your bath experience with a bath mix made with clove oil. Add 1 drop of clove oil, 3 drops of patchouli essential oil, 6 drops of lemon oil and 4 drops of rosemary essential oil in 300 ml of plant milk and 300 g of Epsom salt.

General information:

A slender evergreen tree with a smooth gray trunk, up to 12 meters tall. It has large, bright green leaves that stand in pairs on short petioles. At the beginning of the rainy season, long buds appear with a rose-pink corolla at the tip; as the corolla fades, the calyx slowly turns dark red. They are knocked from the tree and, when dried, provide the clove of commerce.

The clove tree has been cultivated on plantations for more than 2,000 years. The original wild trees found in the Moluccas produce an essential oil that contains no eugenol at all.

Widely used as a home spice all over the world. Clove tincture was used for skin infections (scabies, mycosis); with digestive disorders; from intestinal parasites; to relieve pain during childbirth; and especially from toothache. Tea is used to relieve nausea.

Clove essential oil

Mixed with ginger, clove bud oil can also help soothe an upset stomach and feelings of nausea, but always massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction when treating indigestion. It also has powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties that can be put to good use. To treat ringworm, apply a few drops to a foot bath, followed by a lotion containing clove bud, herb, and lavender essential oils for best results.

You can make a highly effective antibacterial mouthwash or gargle by simply adding a drop or two of clove bud essential oil to a glass of water. One drop of clove bud oil on a cotton swab applied to the gums can help relieve a toothache.

Clove bud essential oil has an invigorating, stimulating and strengthening effect on the mind, which makes it useful for relieving lethargic, melancholic and depressive states. Clove bud oil is a middle note that will add a spicy kick to almost any blend, and works especially well when mixed with citrus and other spicy oils like orange, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, and nutmeg. The classic blend of sweet orange and clove buds in your diffuser creates an instant revitalizing effect.

The reputation of clove essential oil

Clove bud essential oil is often cited as a skin irritant, although in human testing (Opdyke 1975 p.761) undiluted clove oil did not cause irritation or sensitization at a concentration of 5%. However, it is better to be careful and therefore you should always use this oil in a maximum concentration of 1%. Also, do not use clove bud essential oil on hypersensitive, irritated, or diseased skin, or on children under 2 years of age.

The less than ideal reputation of clove oil is associated with two other types of essential oil that are derived from the clove tree; clove leaf and stem. These substances are known to cause skin irritation, and unfortunately, unscrupulous vendors often pass them off as clove bud oil because they cost significantly less than genuine clove bud oil.
