CLOVE (Syzygium aromaticum)
Clove has a sweet, spicy fragrance that is stimulating and revitalizing. An important ingredient to the Thieves blend due to its wonderful immune-enhancing properties, its principal constituent is eugenol, which is used in the dental industry to numb the gyms. Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale. Always dilute for topical use. Clove may also be used to enhance the flavour of foods.
Caution: Check with a physician before using if taking blood-thinning medication.
