Clove Bud is pain relieving, calming, anti-infectious, disinfecting and stimulating. It is particularly useful for toothache and mouth sores, as well as joint issues and infectious wounds.

Aroma

Clove bud oil has a penetrating and spicy aroma with a strong base note.

The plant

The clove oil comes from the buds of the Clove tree, which is a tall evergreen indigenous to Indonesia. Most of the oil is now cultivated and exported from Sri Lanka.

The extraction

Clove essential oil is extracted from the buds via steam distillation.

Chemical constituents

Furfurol (Aldehyde), Methyl salicylate (Ester), Eugenol (Phenol), Caryophyllene (Sesquiterpene), Pinene (Terpene).

Blending

Petitgrain blends well with basil, benzoin, black pepper, cinnamon, citronella, grapefruit, lemon, nutmeg, sweet orange, peppermint and rosemary.


Please note - Clove oil is very potent and powerful and care should be taken when using the oil.

Massage is not recommended but it is a popular and effective ingredient (use very small proportions) in inhalations, topical application, natural skincare and toiletries.
