Clove
Steam distilled from the buds or leaves of Eugenia caryophyllata, this essential oil that originates in Indonesia has a warm and spicy aroma that’s slightly bitter. Clove is a middle note oil that blends well with Basil, Cinnamon, Citronella, Orange and Peppermint.
Clove is a phenomenal addition to homemade toothpaste due to its antimicrobial properties. It makes a wonderful addition to Aromatherapy First Aid kits due to its antifungal, antiseptic, and antiviral properties. Use it in a diffuser blend to help ward off germs and disperse a delightful aroma (add Sweet Orange for a particularly warm and invigorating combination). Looking to quit smoking? Clove can help reduce cravings and other side effects.
