Clove Oil

Clove oil is an essential oil that's derived from clove trees. The clove tree, known as Syzygium aromaticum, is native to Southeast Asia, although today you may find it growing in other locations, too. Clove oil is produced by distilling the dried flower buds that are collected from the clove tree.

Clove oil has traditionally been used for a variety of purposes, including:

• As an antimicrobial, to help kill bacteria.
• As a pain reliever for conditions such as toothache and muscle pain.
• For digestive upset.
• To relieve respiratory conditions like cough and asthma.
