dōTERRA’s Clove oil is special. Clove oil is steam distilled from the bud. On this page, I’m going to refer to Clove Bud essential oil as just Clove oil. I just want you to remember that it is different — the essential oil I’m talking about here comes from clove bud. Clove essential oil has many everyday uses, making it a helpful addition in any home. Aromatically, clove creates a feeling of protection and courage. It is a warming oil that has amazing analgesic and antiseptic properties.
dōTERRA Clove essential oil is helpful to the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, and respiratory systems. What a powerhouse! Clove is high in phenols, which have wonderful benefits, especially to help protect a healthy person against environmental threats. It IS a hot oil. Dilute with a carrier, such as dōTERRA fractionated coconut oil, before any topical use.
Clove has been used for years in dental preparations, candy, and chewing gum for its flavour and ability to cleanse the mouth, yet it provides a myriad of other benefits. Its main chemical component, Eugenol, makes it a very stimulating and energizing essential oil which can be used as a warming massage oil. Clove contains powerful antioxidant properties and supports cardiovascular health when taken internally.
As a cooking spice, Clove oil adds a spicy flavour to any dish or dessert while providing internal health benefits.
Clove Essential Oil Facts
Historically, cloves were used for skin infections, digestive upsets, and most notably for toothaches. The spice is frequently used in hot beverages and baking. Clove oil has a scent that is true to the spice.
This oil comes from clove’s tiny flower buds that are picked before they open and then dried until they become the characteristic deep reddish brown color before being distilled.
