Clove essential oil (Eugenia caryophyllata) is a spicy, warming oil steam distilled from the buds and stems of the plant. It smells like (wanna take a wager?) dried clove, but much stronger in an oil form. Its strength makes it one to use with care and dilution, and a quality brand may also be safe for cooking or baking. Clove oil is traditionally used for immune, respiratory, and digestive support, as well as a food supplement for flavoring (if the quality is high). Aromatically it may also be encouraging, promoting a person’s healing, and stimulating their mind.
