Aromatherapy properties: Clove is an evergreen tree, which produces a flower bud that has numerous medicinal properties. It is often referred to as clove bud. Clove bud has a shaft and a head and hence it has the Latin name clavus, meaning nail. Clove was extensively used in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations and it spread to other parts of the world.

The oil is used for treating a variety of health disorders including toothaches, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress and blood impurities. The most important and common use of clove oil is in dental care. The germicidal properties of the oil make it very effective for relieving dental pain, tooth ache, sore gums, mouth ulcers, and preventing cavities.  In India, clove oil is added to a small cotton ball and put at the end of the tooth which has the cavity every day before going to sleep. The cavity would vanish in a few days.The characteristic smell of clove oil also helps to eliminate bad breath. Clove oil, in an extremely diluted form, can be used as a soothing balm on infants who are teething by applying to the baby’s gums. It is also used to clear the nasal passage. This expectorant is a useful treatment for various respiratory disorders including coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, sinusitis, and tuberculosis. Chewing a clove bud is traditionally recommended to soothe sore throats.

Clove Bud oil is commonly used as a component in bug repellent and insect-repelling candles because the vapor is very potent for the olfactory senses of many insects.

Blending: Clove oil blends well with basil, cinnamon, grapefruit, lemon, nutmeg, peppermint, orange, lavender, and geranium essential oils.
