Clove Bud Essential Oil Profile General - Clove is a slender evergreen tree up to 39ft high. Its bright green leaves stand in pairs on short stalks. The long buds have a rosy-pink corolla at the tip; as the corolla fades the calyx turns red. At the start of the rainy season long greenish buds appear. The spice was introduced into Europe from the fourth to the sixth century. Believed to be native to Indonesia; now cultivated worldwide, especially in the Philippines, the Molucca Islands and Madagascar. The main oil-producing countries are Madagascar and Indonesia. Clove bud oil is steam distilled from the bud of the plant.

Clove Essential Oil Cautions - SKIN IRRITANT! Not recommended for skin applications. DO NOT use on damaged or sensitive
skin. DO NOT use a teething medicine for babies! It is far too harsh on their tender gums. All clove oil can cause skin and mucous membrane
irritation; clove bud and stem oil may cause dermatitis. Clove bud is the least toxic of the tree oils because of its lower eugenol percentage. Use in
moderation only, in low dilution (less then 1 percent)
