About

Clove is a great oil to add to blends for any cold, painful, constrictive situation. It offers warming effects, reduces pain, and is strengthening for the body overall.

Clove is a wonderful digestive oil and can be added to blends that are massaged into the abdomen to assist digestion.

Very strong oil for cold and flu prevention. Use at a 1% dilution, 5-6 drops per ounce of carrier oil or lotion. Combine with other oils such as Ravintsara, Pine, Sandalwood, Lavender and Ginger when a cold is coming on.

Clove has a strong character and can be used to emotionally support someone who is feeling weak and in need of more energy. Its spicy, warm aroma lends itself to an uplifting effect when used in a blend.
