About Clove Bud Essential Oil

Clove has long been revered for supporting dental health and comfort. Clove oil has been used in this capacity for over 300 years, but has been used for more than 2,000 years in multiple ways as a traditional medicine.

Clove essential oil supports the circulatory system. This ability to support strong blood flow makes Clove an excellent choice for enhancing sensual moods, providing musculoskeletal relief and easing the symptoms of tension headache, digestive distress and dry, puffy skin. Don’t forget to dilute this oil well, though, due to its spicy nature.

Clove oil is extremely warming, like its culinary cousin cinnamon, and has many of the same functions in aromatherapy. Applied topically in extremely low dilution and with the help of other oils, clove oil assists in restoring ease and comfort to tired, fatigued or overworked bodies.

This stimulating oil can be used for increasing the appetite. Also when used in vapor therapy it can assist with common and passing troubles caused by a cold, wet winter. Clove’s familiar aroma will help establish the comfort and ease of home and hearth when diffused.

Clove oil has long held a place in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is used in conditions of cold due to a deficiency of yang energy. Because of clove oils extremely heating nature, any aromatherapist will use it cautiously.

How to Use Clove Bud Essential Oil

In the Diffuser: Clove will warm the body and mind with the qualities of stimulating spice. Like other spices this oil will help to open the breath and relieve heaviness and lung discomfort. Diffuse a combination of one drop clove, and 6 drops lavender and 3 drops of clary sage to bring relief.

Other Ways to Use Clove Bud Essential Oil

Note: Please see safety guidelines for clove oil before use.

Clove oil should never be applied directly to the skin as it is extremely dermo-caustic.
It can be applied in dilution or blends for massage, or used in a diffuser.

Clove has also been used as an insect repellant: simply add to a mister bottle and spray as needed. We recommend using this oil in conjunction with our Gold Top Cinnamon Essential Oil.
