Close Leaf Essential Oil

Description

Syzygium aromaticum / Eugenia caryophyllata

Clove Leaf Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the clove tree. It possesses a warm, spicy, slightly fruity aroma that is less intense than clove bud oil but still powerfully aromatic. Just a drop or two of Clove Leaf Essential Oil can add warmth and complexity to any blend, though it should be used with caution due to its potency and potential for skin irritation.

Clove Leaf Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease respiratory infections, mental fatigue, and create a warming, purifying atmosphere. It is valued for its powerful antimicrobial and analgesic properties and is often used in carefully diluted topical applications to help relieve muscle aches, joint pain, and toothache. Clove Leaf should be used in low dilutions as it can be a skin irritant and mucous membrane irritant (see safety notes below).

Emotionally, Clove Leaf Essential Oil is stimulating and fortifying, helping to combat mental exhaustion, strengthen memory and focus, ease feelings of weakness or vulnerability, and promote courage and mental clarity.
