Extraction

Clove essential oil is obtained by water distillation of cloves. It appears as a clear yellow liquid with an intense, fresh, sweet-spicy, slightly pungent scent.

Property

Clove essential oil has antibiotic, antiseptic, larvicidal, and vermifuge properties. It is also excellent for fighting acne and treating burns and skin ulcers. However, it should never be used pure, as it is an irritant oil: it is always best to dissolve it first in a vegetable oil (olive, almond, or sesame).
It is also worth remembering its insect-repellent properties (especially effective against mosquitoes).
Clove essential oil harmonizes with the essential oils of: bergamot, frankincense, lavender, black pepper, clary sage, vanilla, and ylang-ylang.

Uses

It is used in the formulation of dental drugs, toothpastes, cosmetics, perfumes, printing inks, and paints.
It is also a starting material for isolating natural eugenol.

Botany

Probably native to Indonesia, cloves are now cultivated worldwide (especially in the Philippines, the Moluccas, and Madagascar).
They grow into slender trees, up to twelve meters tall, with a smooth trunk and large, shiny, lanceolate leaves. At the beginning of the rainy season, flower buds containing the cloves appear; when dried, they are the most common commercial spice.
