Clove Oil Benefits and Uses

Indigenous to Indonesia and Madagascar, cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata) can be found in nature as the unopened pink flower buds of the evergreen tree.
Picked by hand the buds are dried until they turn brown and, after grinding them, the powder is used in cooking or converted into an essential oil for various medicinal purposes.
Unlike most other spices, cloves can be grown throughout the entire year, which has given native tribes that use it a distinct advantage over other cultures because the health benefits can be enjoyed more readily.
History tells us that the Chinese have used clove for more than 2,000 years as a fragrance and spice and that it hit the international health scene several hundred years later. Since then, it has been applied in numerous products for agricultural and cosmetic purposes.
The most profound properties of clove oil, however, are related to its widespread application in homeopathic natural medicine. Because it contains an elevated level of eugenol, clove essential oil has proven to be remarkably versatile and has been thoroughly researched as an effective alternative to many modern medical treatments.

There’s studies saying clove kills scabies within 20 minutes. I had an aggressive case of scabies from my mom’s dog and no medications worked, tea tree helped a little but clove mixed with tea tree got the job done!! So grateful

[@tg7648]

Do not use clove essential oil neat on skin as it is highly sensitising and can cause allergic or adverse reactions in those with sensitve skins. Always dilute in a base oil of your preference first, e.g. sweet almond, grapeseed, coconut etc, then add 1 to 3 drops of the essential oil and mix together before use. If you're not sure about skin sensitivity, just start with 1 drop per 5ml of base oil first to be safe. It is best to use whole cloves (ones for cooking) for tea, or for gargling, toothache etc. and adding to food for health benefits, and never the essential oil, as you cannot guarantee that it is 'food grade' quality and is far too concentrated. It is not advisable to use clove essential oil neat on gums as suggested here...it can damage the gum tissue with repeated use. I'm a qualified aromatherapist btw.

Quick question. If Clove kills bacteria (antifungal) and we need to take a probiotic and only use for about 2 weeks then I am confused on the email PDF file I received from you "The Kings Cabinet: Essential Oil Daily Use Guide" because it says to take but doesn't say for a limited period. Killing bacteria is good but we don't want to kill the good bacteria on a regular basis so I'm confused. Thanks

[@robertolson3115]

You are a sharp thinker Chrissie.

[@xxaidanxxsniperz6404]

Bacteria are not fungi. Yeast are fungi and some other unicellular organisms. It wont kill bacteria or viruses

[@1PamBridges]

The best benefit of this fruit is that it kills parasites and candida and helps with toothaches, glad it can be used as an anticeptic and kills all bacteria in your mouth and gives you your saliva back. Never tried the tooth paste but I do make my own.. Just started eating about 10 plus cloves a day for all these things. Its yucky but I can't wait for the end results, makes me love it for the benefits it has and that our CREATOR YA'OH GAVE us. All praise to THE MOST HIGH YA'OH ALA'AYM FOR ALL HIS healing herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables HE GAVE THE UNIVERSE.

Rub on skin for acne removal, eat if you want to get the other benefits

[@bryanpratt5850]

Definitely only go with doTERRA if you take internally and for medicinal benefits, because of their UNCOMPROMISING commitment to the HIGHEST purity of oils. They set the highest standard with their CPTG. Companies can legally label their oils as organic while adulterating their oils to boost profit. They dilute their oils with cheaper constituents but keep the same price. Changing the ratio of the chemical constituents that is naturally found in nature nullifies the antioxidant properties. This is proven scientifically. DoTERRA even has an independent third party to test all their oils. You can see the test results for any bottle of oil. Look on the bottom to find the batch number and go to the website: sourcetoyou.com type in the number and find the test result for that particular batch of oil. Not only does doTERRA set the bar for purity, but also for transparency.

@@robertolson3115 there are "safety hazards" about Sodium Bicarbonate, yet we have that in our kitchen cabinet. it's about concentration and amount used mate.

[@robertolson3115]

@@Haqqali - Exactly. The problem with essential oils today is precisely what you said, concentration and amount used. Distilling technology anywhere close to what we have today didn't happen until around 1200. We are creating highly concentrated liquids that simply were not available 2000 years ago. Plus they are being promoted for constant use which becomes abuse. The reason? $$$ Its all about money.
