The Profile
The Clove tree is a slender evergreen native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. The essential oil is derived from the sun-dried flower buds, which must be picked just as they turn pink. The oil is powerful and spicy with a rich, warm, and sweet-woody aroma. It has been a cornerstone of traditional medicine for centuries, most notably for its numbing effect and its use in the "Four Thieves" vinegar during the plague.

Usage & Benefits
· Skin: Athlete's foot, bruises, burns, cuts, and insect repellent (especially for mosquitoes). It is a powerful antiseptic but must be used with caution on the skin.

· Digestive: Colic, dyspepsia, nausea, and diarrhea. It helps to warm the digestive system and dispel gas.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Arthritis, rheumatism, and sprains. It creates a warming sensation that eases deep-seated pain.
· Immune System: Colds, flu, and minor infections. It is a very high-potency antioxidant and antimicrobial oil.

Emotional Benefit
Clove Bud is the "Oil of Boundaries." It helps to empower the individual to say "no" and protects the spirit from being overly influenced by the needs or negativity of others. It is an excellent oil for those who feel weak-willed or victimized, providing the courage and "heat" needed to take decisive action.
The "At Home" Remedies
1. Emergency Toothache Relief: Dilute 1 drop of Clove Bud in a teaspoon of carrier oil. Dip a cotton bud into the mixture and apply directly to the gum around the aching tooth for temporary numbing.
2. Protective Room Spray: During cold and flu season, mix 5 drops of Clove and 10 drops of Lemon in 100ml of water. Spray around the home to purify the air and discourage the spread of germs.
3. Warming Foot Rub: For chronically cold feet or poor circulation, mix 1 drop of Clove Bud with 1 tablespoon of lotion and massage into the feet to stimulate blood flow.

Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions
Extreme caution is required. Clove Bud is a powerful skin and mucous membrane irritant. It must always be used in a very low dilution (0.5% or less for skin).

Because it can inhibit blood clotting, it should be avoided before surgery or by those on anticoagulant medication.
