How to apply clove oil?
Clove bud oil is meant to be applied topically. When mixed with other oils like coconut oil and olive oil, it can work as a massage oil. For the treatment of respiratory diseases, clove essential oil can be used by steam inhalation. It can also be mixed with skin care products to enhance its benefits.
Is Clove Essential Oil Safe?
Using this oil undiluted can cause serious skin problems. To avoid this, we suggest that you dilute the clove oil with a carrier oil such as jojoba, coconut, or olive oil. If you want to apply it topically, check first that it does not cause allergic reactions: take a test or apply a drop of the preparation on your skin and see if it produces any side effects.
Clove bud oil is considered a dangerous sensitizer in some individuals. High concentrations of eugenol can irritate the mucosa and can lead to dermatitis and other skin problems. It should never be used on damaged skin. In some cases, the oil can lead to photosensitivity. For example, sun exposure after applying pure clove oil can cause severe burns or the spread of viral lesions.
People who use blood thinners and aspirin should avoid clove oils as they can decrease platelet activity. The oil can also cause a drop in blood glucose, so diabetics need to be very careful when using it. People with liver or kidney disease should also refrain from using this oil because it can cause damage to both organs.
Also pregnant and lactating women should exercise caution when using clove essential oil. Children should be kept away from this oil due to possible intestinal discomfort. It is better to stay away from any clove products if you are allergic.
Side effects
Despite its many health benefits, we advise everyone, and especially beginners, to use clove essential oil in moderation. While eugenol offers many beneficial properties, it can also induce allergic effects. This is why it should be used gradually and in small amounts.
For example, taking the oil by mouth in its undiluted form can cause nausea, vomiting, sore throat, seizures, and even blood problems. It can end up causing breathing difficulties, as well as rashes and itching.
Repeated use of clove bud oil to address acne problems can cause damage to the skin and leave permanent marks.
If you are thinking of using clove oil to address a health problem, I recommend that you first seek the advice of a medical professional.
