What is Phytosun Aroms Organic Clove Essential Oil used for?
A clove bud is an unopened flower bud; it has been known in Vedic Indian medicine (1500 B.C.) and Chinese medicine since the 2nd century B.C. Arab-Persian medicine attributes beneficial effects to it for "urinary incontinence and difficulty urinating caused by cold." When taken with whey, it enhances sexual desire. It freshens breath, strengthens the gums, stomach, and liver, and alleviates vomiting. When used as eye drops, it improves eyesight.
Valnet (20th century) notes that the essential oil was used to disinfect the hands of surgeons, midwives, and nurses, and to clean wounds and the umbilical cord, as Leclerc (20th century) also reports. Throughout history, this world-renowned spice has been used to treat tooth decay, oral infections, and to fill cavities. Today, the essential oil is used in pharmaceuticals, the food industry, and perfumery.
Phytosun Arôms Organic Clove Essential Oil is the ultimate natural solution for relieving toothaches and promoting oral hygiene. Extracted by distillation from the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, it is naturally rich in eugenol, a compound with recognized antiseptic, anesthetic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
It is particularly effective at quickly soothing toothaches, inflamed gums, canker sores, or mild oral infections. A single drop, applied topically to a cotton swab or diluted in a vegetable oil, provides rapid pain relief while fighting the bacteria responsible for the infection. It can also be used as a diluted mouthwash to cleanse the mouth and prevent issues related to poor oral hygiene.
Beyond its use in oral hygiene, clove essential oil is a natural broad-spectrum anti-infective, effective against many bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It can be used to strengthen the immune system and support the body’s response to respiratory infections (sore throat, cold, flu), digestive issues (bloating, bacterial diarrhea), and certain skin infections.
When diffused or applied topically (always diluted), it stimulates circulation, disinfects sensitive areas, and provides a toning and protective effect. It is also known for its stimulating effects on the body: it warms, invigorates, and restores energy, especially during periods of fatigue or convalescence.
Clove essential oil is extremely concentrated and potent. It must therefore be used with caution and always diluted, particularly to avoid skin irritation and oral sensitivity. Its high phenol content makes it dermocaustic, but also remarkably effective in cases of infection or acute pain.
Phytosun Arôms guarantees impeccable quality with a 100% pure, natural, chemotyped oil sourced from organic farming. Each batch is rigorously tested to ensure optimal effectiveness while respecting skin and oral tolerance. The 5-ml bottle is sufficient for numerous occasional uses thanks to its high potency.
