Clove contains eugenol – a powerful natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Dissolved in baby oil, it can be rubbed in to relieve muscle tension or joint pain, for example.
Relieves Toothaches
A drop of oil on a cotton swab can be applied to sore teeth or inflamed gums (not recommended for children under 2 years old!).
Helps with Mosquito and Insect Bites
The oil relieves itching, has a mild disinfectant effect, and also repels mosquitoes with its clove scent.
Natural Insect Repellent
When applied to the skin, it keeps mosquitoes away – a gentle alternative to chemical remedies.
Helps with colds and nasal congestion.
Applied to the chest or back, the oil aids breathing and has a calming effect.
Promotes Circulation
When applied regularly to muscles or feet, it stimulates blood circulation – ideal for cold hands and feet.
Antibacterial Skin Care
Acts against blemishes and pimples when applied thinly. Clove oil fights bacteria and inflammation.
Care for tired feet.
Massage after a long day – relaxes, nourishes, and refreshes at the same time.
