How to use
On the skin
Highly dilutedClove is high in eugenol, so it needs to be highly diluted for topical use, at less than 1%. That means fewer than 6 drops per ounce of carrier oil. If your skin is sensitive, patch test a small spot first.
Sore tooth
For toothacheAdd 2 drops of Clove Bud Essential Oil to a cotton swab and rub it onto the sore tooth. This is for the tooth only. On the rest of the skin, keep clove under 1%.
Diffuser
In the airFollow your diffuser maker's instructions. In a nebulizing diffuser, 8 to 20 drops is typical. A couple of drops each of Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark and Bergamot make a warming blend.
