Fun Fact

Clove gets its name from the Latin word clavus, meaning “nail.” The plant earned this name because the dried buds of clove resemble small tacks or nails.

What is Clove Bud Oil?

Sourced from Madagascar, Clove Bud essential oil is harvested and steam distilled from unopened and dried flower buds of the evergreen tree, Eugenia caryophyllata. Requiring a tropical, humid environment, clove trees originally hail from Southeast Asia, and can live up to 100 years. Clove trees are members of the myrtle family whose leaves, flowers, and buds are highly aromatic, which has made them useful for centuries for cooking, perfumes, and other aromatic uses.

What Essential Oils Blend Well with Clove Bud Oil?

Clove Bud essential oil blends well with other spicy or woody essential oils, such as Wild Orange oil, Frankincense oil, Cassia oil, Cedarwood oil, Ginger oil, and Cinnamon Bark oil. Clove Bud oil also blends well with sweet, herbaceous essential oils like Roman Chamomile oil and Fennel oil.

Cautions 

Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. When used topically, dilute 1 drop with 5-10 drops of carrier oil to minimize skin sensitivity.
