Clove has a very distinct spicy, warm, woody aroma that gives the environment where it is placed a homely effect. It is the go-to oil for anything dental-related. Its germicidal properties make it a handy one for potentially relieving dental pain, toothache, sore gums or mouth ulcers. It’s not only great in the dental region, it is an all-rounder handy antiseptic oil to have around the home that can help treat wounds, cuts and fungal infections.

Mix clove with cinnamon, orange and vetiver and diffuse at home to help boost the immune system and strengthen the nervous system.

One should be careful while using Clove oil, as it is very strong even in small quantities and must be diluted before application. Diabetics should be cautious as clove oil can cause blood sugar to drop. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid.
