With its warming and topical anaesthetic effect, Clove Bud essential oil is highly effective for pain and inflammation and assists overworked bodies by easing tension and tired, fatigued and sore muscles. Because clove buds have been traditionally used as a meat tenderiser, the essential oil is brilliant for softening hard muscles and body tension when 2-3 drops are applied directly to affected area.
Clove bud essential oil also relieves respiratory conditions such as coughs and asthma especially when used in a diffuser, supports a healthy immune system and is beneficial as a digestive support when massaged onto the abdomen. With its antimicrobial, antiseptic and antifungal properties, it has shown in studies to kill bacteria and mould, so it is excellent for DIY cleaning products and even applied to the skin in creams, scrubs, lotions or carrier oil for treating skin conditions.
