Clove oil is obtained from the buds of a tree called clove (Syzygium aromaticum) of the Myrtacae family. The plant grows naturally in Indonesia, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other regions of the equatorial zone. Buds intended for oil production are usually harvested before flowering (ie from August to February), because this is when they contain the most of this valuable substance.

Clove oil from buds - properties

Clove oil has been a treasure for centuries. Once kept in golden baskets, today it is available to all, and its use continues to amaze. The product is widely used in pharmacology, dentistry, cosmetology and aromatherapy.

Known for its complex, spicy scent - slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness, it offers much more than an unusual aroma. Clove oil is an effective antimicrobial, killing many common pathogens (including viruses, bacteria and fungi). It is ideal for minor cuts and scrapes, as well as treating respiratory infections or severe inhalation allergy symptoms.

The oil has an anesthetic and warming effect - relieves rheumatic and muscle pains (of various origins), especially when combined with a gentle massage. The extract is an effective repellent - although it repels insects, when used locally it will also cope with the unpleasant symptoms of insect bites. Clove oil has antioxidant properties - it is a natural source of antioxidants and is a great addition to daily skin care. Used in aromatherapy, it stimulates and energizes, improves concentration and sharpens the mind. It completely refreshes the air - it not only gives a great smell, but also removes many harmful microorganisms.

The origin of the raw material: the fragrant cap grows in the field on many islands in Indonesia. It is grown in many countries with an equatorial climate.
