Description
Aromatic note:Spicy, woody, warm, sometimes reminiscent of vanilla
Clove is a spice known for more than 2500 years. The earliest reference to it is found in China, where it began to be used to combat bad breath.
This tree, native to the Molucca Islands (Indonesia), was introduced by the Chinese to other parts of Asia during the spice trade era.
The Egyptians also valued cloves. Clove necklaces have been found in some sarcophagi.
It reached Europe through the Portuguese in 1511.
Clove is of great importance in Eastern medicine, a very popular natural remedy used mainly to combat infections and as an anaesthetic. Aphrodisiac properties are also attributed to it, and it is said to aid childbirth.
Clove essential oil is obtained from the flower buds or leaves.
The predominant molecule in both cases is eugenol, and depending on the origin of the essential oil, its concentration can vary from 65 to 90%.
Clove essential oil is a valuable anti-infective that should be in every medicine cabinet. It is known as a great friend of the mouth. It is also a great digestive ally. In India, the spice is used to support “Agni”, or digestive fire, and to prevent digestive infections and flatulence.
Clove essential oil is an anaesthetic as powerful as benzocaine and an excellent analgesic.
Its aroma is not always appealing, probably because it reminds us of visits to the dentist. Eugenol is responsible; it has been used in dentistry for many years.
The aroma of clove essential oil can vary considerably depending on whether it comes from the leaves or flower buds. It also varies according to its place of origin. Depending on the batch, eugenol, responsible for the characteristic, unmistakable clove smell, may be more prominent. In some batches of essential oil obtained from flower buds, a faint vanilla aroma can be detected. The woody component can also vary between batches.
