History of Clove
Known for studding orange peels in mulled wine, cloves are a popular culinary spice. Clove essential oil’s aroma is reminiscent of the scent you would find in your spice cabinet, but more potent. Though this spice makes a pronounced and exotic addition to many recipes, the essential oil’s aromatherapy uses are even more remarkable.

Using Clove Oil
All essential oil blends are for aromatherapy use only and are not for ingesting!

Aromatherapy Uses
Bath & Shower
Add 5-10 drops to hot bath water, or sprinkle into shower steam before getting in for an at-home spa experience.

Massage
8-10 drops of essential oil per 1 ounce of carrier oil. Apply a small amount directly to areas of concern, such as muscles, skin or joints. Work the oil gently into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

Inhalation
Inhale the aromatic vapors directly from the bottle, or place a few drops in a burner or diffuser to fill a room with its scent.
