Clove oil is super strong, with one drop being equal to a dozen of whole cloves. If applied directly to the skin or the gums, it may cause burns. Instead, you should mix it with a carrier oil and use it in small amounts. It is intended for aromatherapy or diluted topical application only, never for consumption.
How to Use Cloves for Wellness?
1. Clove Tea (Simple & Soothing)
1 cup boiling water
3–4 whole cloves
Optional: cinnamon stick, lemon slice, or raw honey
Steep for 5–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm.
This tea helps with sore throat, digestion, and is great during the cold season.
2. Diluted Clove Oil (For Oral or Topical Use)
Mix 1–2 drops of food-grade clove oil with 1 tsp carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil)
Use for:
Toothache relief
Minor skin irritations (patch test first)
Natural cleaning spray (antimicrobial)
*Undiluted clove oil can burn skin or damage tooth enamel.
3. Homemade Mouthwash
1 cup water
1 tsp baking soda
1–2 drops clove oil
1 drop tea tree oil
Gently swish in your mouth for 30 seconds.
