Therapeutic Properties
The high sesquiterpene content contributes to the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects of Clove Bud. The essential oil derived from clove buds is not as irritating to the skin as the oil taken from the leaf or stem. Eugenol, which causes skin and mucous membrane irritation, is buffered by the sesquiterpenes within Clove Bud.
Clove is a powerful antioxidant. As a dried spice, it measures 300,000 on the ORAC scale, and as an essential oil, it estimates over 1 million.
