Pure clove bud essential oil (Eugenia caryophyllus) steam distilled from the flower buds of the clove tree, native to Indonesia and widely cultivated in Sri Lanka. With its intensely spicy, penetrating aroma and strong base note, this is one of the most powerful essential oils in aromatherapy — warming, invigorating and richly festive.
Clove bud oil is valued for its pain-relieving, anti-infectious and disinfecting properties. It is particularly effective for toothache, mouth sores, joint discomfort and infectious skin conditions. Due to its potency, it works best used in very small amounts — ideally in inhalations, oil burners, topical blends and natural skincare formulations rather than full-body massage.
