Clove Essential oil is extracted from the flower buds, leaves and stem of the Eugenia caryophyllus
tree. The oil extracted from cloves is rich in many volatile compounds that give the spice its strong aroma and flavor. Eugenol is the main component, forming 70-90% of the oil. Clove oil is one of the richest sources of antioxidants. In aromatherapy, it is used as an antiseptic and pain reliever especially for toothaches and stomach pain.  It is often mixed with other oils to treat various disorders. For instance, those who have troubled sleep can apply some warm clove oil along with sesame oil on the forehead to feel calm and relaxed. Clove oil can come in very handy for pregnant women as it can reduce the effect of nausea and morning sickness to a great extent. Owing to its strong smell, clove oil can also be used as part of aroma therapy. Apply it on to your pillows at night and sleep peacefully.
