Organic Clove Essential Oil

Clove oil is extremely warming, like it’s 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.

Clove, botanically known as Eugenia caryophyllata can be found in nature as unopened pink flower buds of the tropical evergreen tree. Picked up by hand in late summer and again in winter, the buds are dried until they turn brown. The buds are then left whole, ground into a spice or are steam-distilled to produce organic clove essential oil. Clove bud oil is derived from the clove tree, a member of the Myrtaceae family native to Indonesia and the West Indies. The plant itself is typically found in low-lying areas that have a humid climate. 

 The oil has been a part of traditional medicine practices for centuries. History tells us that the Chinese have used clove for more than 2,000 years as a fragrance and spice.

Profile

A typical clove bud is about half to three-quarters of an inch and is composed of about 14-20% essential oil. The main chemical component of the oil is eugenol, which is also responsible for clove oil’s strong fragrance. It has a strong warm and spicy smell, just as the flavor of the herb. The color of the oil is Pale yellow to yellowish brown.

Benefits and Uses of Clove Essential Oil

Organic Clove Oil possesses invaluable properties, ranging from boosting blood circulation, improving oral health to reducing inflammation. However, the most well-known uses of clove oil include its ability to help cleanse gums and teeth; and relieve toothaches. It is rich source of antioxidants and may also be used for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

1. Oral Health and Tooth Ache Relief

One of the most well-known benefits of clove oil is its ability to soothe toothaches and provide relief from swelling. Today, research proves that clove is a source of relieving pain and discomfort associated with various dental conditions. So why use chemical based soothing products when organic clove essential oil can accomplish the same?

For toothaches, you can apply a drop of the oil directly to the tooth. Alternatively, you can make a compress with a cotton ball. Mix 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 2-3 drops of clove oil and dip a cotton ball into this. Apply this cotton ball onto the inflamed tooth and bite down on it.

2. Support Cardiovascular Health

Clove oil can boost heart health in a number of ways. Eugenol in clove oil may help lower blood pressure and aid in improving blood circulation which results in an overall healthy cardiovascular system.

3. High antioxidant value

Antioxidants are molecules that reverse the damage caused by free radicals, cloves have an astounding amount of antioxidants in them. Even a single gram of clove contains 30 times more antioxidants than blueberries do! These help protect the body by boosting cellular health.

4. Support Healthy Digestion

One of the traditional clove oil's uses has been for supporting  the digestive system. Clove essential oil helps soothe mild discomfort associated with indigestion, motion sickness and bloating. A few drops of the oil, if rubbed on the stomach area, can help reduce gas and help eliminate toxins from the body.

Take Away

As a spice, clove has been long traded for culinary uses and for flavoring warm beverages. Because one of clove oil's main components is eugenol, which was credited to produce analgesic effects, it has been used traditionally in oral care and dentistry. Today clove oil is used as a flavoring, a component of toothpastes and offers various other benefits like aiding digestion and boosting immune health.
