Cloves are the aromatic buds of the tree Syzygium aromaticum, which is native to the Indonesia islands. They have been used for centuries as a food preservative and for their many medicinal purposes. New Roots Herbal’s 100% pure Clove Bud Essential Oil is steam-distilled to extract these valuable medicinal ingredients.
Clove bud essential oil is popular for aromatherapy. It can be applied to the skin by using a carrier oil like coconut, tamanu, jojoba, or argan oil, just to name a few.
Another great use for clove bud essential oil is for topical pain alleviation. Dating back as far as the thirteenth century, clove bud oil has been used for tooth pain; the compound responsible being eugenol. Using small amounts with a carrier oil for tooth pain has been shown to be an effective treatment option. In addition to these pain-numbing effects, a few drops in water as an oral rinse can also be beneficial. Make sure to avoid swallowing.
