Description
Clove has been used for years in dental preparations, candy, and gum for its flavor and ability to cleanse the mouth, yet it provides a myriad of benefits. Its main chemical component, eugenol, makes it a very stimulating and energizing essential oil that can be used as a warming massage oil. Clove contains powerful antioxidant properties and may support cardiovascular health when used internally.* As a cooking spice, Clove adds a spicy flavor to any dish or dessert while providing possible internal health benefits.* One drop can clean the teeth and gums while promoting fresh breath.
