Used in aromatherapy to help relieve toothache, joint and muscle pain, and colds and cough.
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.
