Clove essential oil is derived from the tree Syzgium aromaticum. It is a slender evergreen that grows up to 12 meters in height (approximately 36 feet). At the start of the rainy season, long buds appear. They change color over time and are beaten from the trees and dried. These are the cloves sold commercially. The word clove comes from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail, since the shaft and head of the clove bud resembles a nail. Cloves and Nutmeg were among the most precious of items of Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, and they were worth more than their weight in gold. Clove essential oil smells spicy and rich like actual cloves.

Common Uses: Clove essential oil is an effective agent for minor pains and aches (particularly dental pain), and is very helpful when battling flu and colds.

Blends Well: with Citronella, Grapefruit, Lemon, Neroli, Peppermint, Rose, and Rosemary

Cautions: Clove essential oil can cause sensitization in some individuals and should be used in diluted concentrations. This essential oil should also be avoided during pregnancy.
