Clove Essential Oil is extracted usually by steam distillation from the leaves of the Eugenia caryophyllata tree, which is native to Indonesia and the Malacca islands. This is a potent oil with a warm, strong, spicy smell and needs to be used very diluted using a carrier oil and with much care in aromatherapy.
Clove oil is said to help heal and soothe acne, bruises, cuts and burns, leg sores, and as a pain reliever for rheumatism and arthritis. This essential oil is believed to stimulate the mind and acts as an aphrodisiac.
