Clove essential oil is produced on the exotic island of Madagascar; it takes roughly one kilogram of clove seeds to extract 15 ml of essential oil.
Uses
- Thyroid support — apply diluted over the gland, in combination with frankincense, lemongrass and basil or mint. Internally, 1–2 drops in a capsule daily.
- Toothache — apply directly on or around the problem area; a few drops in water with salt make an effective and pleasantly scented mouthwash.
- Breaking habits, including smoking — apply under the big toe.
- Immune support — 1–2 drops in a capsule internally; with a sore throat you can add 1–2 drops of lemon to the capsule, once or twice a day.
- Antioxidant — 1–2 drops in a capsule, or use in small amounts in cooking.
- Liver detox — apply diluted over the liver area.
- Rheumatoid arthritis — massage into the painful areas.
