How to use: Dilute 1 part EO to 4 parts nut or veggie oil. Almond, cherry and jojoba feel the best on skin. Because of the clove and cinnamon, there may be possible sun/skin sensitivity. Diffuse for 15 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours. Dilute 1:15 in oil for a cleansing body massage. Put 4-8 drops on a cotton ball to freshen your car or house vents. Add 10 drops to 1-2 ounces of water to make a cleansing spritzer.

Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oil are a widely used spice and flavor ingredient and come from the clove tree, a medium sized evergreen plant native to Indonesia. Clove Bud oil is made from the immature buds; it is the safest type of clove oil. Jean Valnet, M.D., author of The Practice of Aromatherapy,

considered by many to be one of the most powerful antiseptic and
antimicrobial of all essential oils.

The oil
of this tree is well-known for its anti-infectious and wound
healing properties. For hundreds of years, the Aborigines of
Australia have used Eucalyptus leaves for their disinfectant
value. Groves of these trees were planted in swampy areas of North
Africa to halt the spread of malaria. Jean Valnet, MD, reported
that 70% of airborne staph bacteria were killed when a 2% emulsion
of Eucalyptus oil was used as a spray.
In his book
Advanced Aromatherapy, Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt calls Eucalyptus radiata the number one, all purpose Eucalyptus oil.
Narrow Leaf essential oil has a more pleasing
aroma than the more common Blue Gum Eucalyptus. Due to its
pleasant smell and its valuable chemical constituents, this is my
favorite Eucalyptus oil. Although it has strong antiviral
properties, it is also gentler than Eucalyptus globulus, and
therefore useful in aromatherapy preparations for children and the
elderly.
