Clove Oil may improve mental clarity and memory (mental stimulant) and create a feeling of expanded courage sense of well being. Clove Oil can encourage sleep and stimulate vivid dreams. Clove is a mental, emotional and subtle energy tonic, and is both restorative and stimulating.

Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) Essential Oils are amazing at eliminating "free radicals" within our systems. One of the reasons I encourage people to use oils daily in their lives is to keep the possible cancer creating debris at very low levels. Clove Bud Oil has a very high rating on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) Scale. The Higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food or oil is in destroying free radicals, thus retarding the aging process and preventing cancers and other diseases.

Antioxidant (ORAC) Scores For Selected Essential Oils **

i.e. Sandalwood 1,655; Rosemary 3,309; Cinnamon Bark 103,448; Clove Oil 10,786,875 as examples.

According to research *** most essential oils score higher than most fruits and vegetables in providing antioxidants (Substances that inhibit oxidation-aging) In fact, Essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of all the substances in the world. An ounce of Clove Bud Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 450 pounds of carrots, 120 quarts of blueberries or 48 gallons of beet juice.

According to Nicole’s Research, Clove Oil has a great affinity for inhibiting the growth and reproduction of Cervical and Skin Cancers. **** The really cool part of using essential oils each day is the opportunity to keep the inner workings of the body optimal and resist aging. Nicole’s study revealed in great detail that using essential oils can be effective at keeping the internal environment of the body healthy without side effects of leaving debris behind or hurting healthy cells in killing off pathogens, cancer producing elements and free radicals.

Clove Oil has the Phenylpropanoids (like in Cassia, Cinnamon, Oregano,etc.) that can create conditions where unfriendly viruses and bacteria cannot live, the most important function they perform is that they clean the receptor sites on our cells. Without clean receptor sites, cells cannot communicate, and the body malfunctions, resulting in sickness.

Dr. Hill has taught us in many ways and given many examples of the same three principles of why essential oils are such effective healing and age reversing blessings for us all. First, they clean receptor sites on the surfaces of cells allowing the proper transfer of hormones, peptides, neurotransmitters, steroids and other intracellular messengers. Second, the deprogramming of bad information that has glommed onto the "RNA gold card" that is your special recipe of cell reproduction for perfect cells. This is the "quantum healing" factor that lead me thru so much research for years. Third, ability to reprogram the perfect cellular information so the body can repair itself. The heavy chemistry is available on line and in many books available thru www.aromatools.com.

Clove Oil is one of the oldest in many recorded histories of medical practices from around the world.

Clove Oil was first used in foods and stews and as an aromatic fragrance mixed with Myrrh and Cinnamon; to soak feet, to rub on arthritic joints, sooth stomach distress and deter insects that carried diseases.

Cigarette manufacturers add many ingredients to their products to improve taste; because of its ability to numb the tongue, Clove is added to many cigarettes to reduce the bite and take away the sting, thus producing a smoother taste. Funny thing is that we use a little bit of Clove oil on the tongue to help people break the smoking habit.

Clove Oil on a cotton swab and applied to the aching tooth, has a slight anesthetic affect, relieving pain for a few hours. If the pain is caused by a lost filling, a cotton ball soaked in Clove Oil and inserted into the cavity will have the same analgesic, anesthetic effect. Its strong antiseptic properties make Clove good at preventing colds and flu. Overall, Clove is pain-relieving, comforting and revitalizing.
