Clove Bud Essential Oil

Clove oil is extremely warming, like it’s culinary cousin cinnamon, and has many of the same functions in aromatherapy. Applied topically in extremely low dilution and with the help of other oils, clove oil assists in restoring ease and comfort to tired, fatigued or overworked bodies. 

This oil from Madagascar has the true fragrance of fresh clove buds. Our oil is steam-distilled from the flower buds that are harvested unopened, then dried in preparation for distillation.

Do not apply directly to delicate skin or near eyes or mucous membranes, even in dilution. Caution- clove oil is dermotoxic. Some people are very sensitive to clove essential oil. Do not take clove essential oil internally.
