Clove oil is nature’s most powerful antioxidant. For example, blueberries on the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scale scored a 2,800. In comparison, clove oil on the ORAC scale scored 1,078,000. It is derived from a flower bud, and it is extracted from the bud using steam distillation. If your child has pain from teething or you are suffering with a toothache, clove has been used for centuries to help. It is also beneficial in helping with skin infections, digestive issues, diarrhea, vomiting, and many more uses. Also intriguing is that one of clove oil’s most popular uses is to help with tobacco addiction. Clove oil is a hot oil meaning that it needs to be diluted. Dilute it at a one to one ratio with another oil like coconut oil to help reduce potency.
