Clove (Eugeniacaryophllata Thunb.) is a tree clove of the genus Syzygium in the Myrtaceae family. Clove oil is an essential oil extracted from clove buds. It can treat toothache, bronchitis, neuralgia, gastric acid, resist respiratory and urinary system infections, relieve discomfort and pain caused by dysentery, improve weak constitution and anemia, aphrodisiac (impotence, frigidity), and expel insects. It promotes blood circulation, treats skin ulcers and wound inflammation, treats scabies, and improves rough skin.
Clove oil is a light yellow or colorless clear oily liquid with a special aroma of cloves. When exposed to air or stored for a long time, it gradually thickens and turns brown. It is insoluble in water, but easily soluble in alcohol, ether and glacial acetic acid. The relative density is 1.038-1.060. It tastes spicy and sweet, and is very hot.
Like other natural medicines, clove essential oil (or clove oil as it is commonly called) comes from a plant native to India. It is most popular in dentistry for its sedative properties, but you can buy this product over the counter at your nearest pharmacy. A common use for this herb is to add flavor to cough and cold medicines so that they can at least be drinkable. Although natural, taking too much at once can be life-threatening or cause serious breathing problems. As with any medicinal product, even a natural one, consult a doctor before taking it.
