Cloves, which are picked as pink flower buds from the evergreen clove tree, have been used in cooking and aromatherapy for centuries. With their warm and wonderful aroma, Cloves are a perfect ingredient in natural products.

 

Clove oil is a powerful germicidal, with antiseptic and antibacterial properties making it an effective natural cleaning agent. Clove has also anti-inflammatory properties and can rapidly ease muscular pains; and more generally,  it can be used as a local anesthetic.

 

Clove is also a natural and nontoxic insect repellent; an ideal replacement for toxic Deet insect repellent.
