NOW Essential Oils, Clove Oil, Balancing Aromatherapy Scent, Steam Distilled, 100% Pure, Vegan, Child Resistant Cap, 1-Ounce

Excellent value for quality product. Despite the "aromatherapy" promotion I bought this for dental use. When you go to the dentist and he numbs you with a q-tip of pleasant smelling fluid before giving you an injection - guess what's on the q-tip? That's right... There's a lot of misinformation online about this - so I thought I'd give my 2 cents. If you search you can find clinical studies that show the effectiveness of clove oil for dental use as an antibacterial, pain reliever, and more. It was recommended to me by a friend in an emergency situation of extreme, 3 Motrin pain. It works. There are many warnings about using it with a carrier oil to dilute it. All well and good. If it touches certain delicate skin areas it will burn like acid. If it works for you in diluted form - do that and be happy. I needed more strength. You must handle it with care and use a TINY amount. If you shake the bottle, remove the cap, and wipe the inside of the bottle cap with a cotton swab - THAT'S ENOUGH. Give it a minute or two. You will probably salivate - DO NOT SWALLOW. Spit it out. If necessary repeat with slightly more oil on the swab. In severe cases you may want to put a couple drops on a small piece of cotton and leave it directly on the affected area for a minute or two. Again: DO NOT SWALLOW. It probably won't harm you to swallow a trace amount - but I generally swish the saliva - spit and wash out with water. It may not be good to swallow trace amounts 3 times a day - so go with what feels right to you. Be careful not to get any on your fingers, and especially - DO NOT TOUCH ANY SENSITIVE SKIN AREAS. It won't burn your gums - maybe your tongue a little - definitely your cheek - maybe your lip. USE IT CAREFULLY - WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY - WITH SOAP. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING BEFORE WASHING YOUR HANDS. Take my word for it. First time I used it I didn't notice a tiny trace amount left on my fingertip. But I DID notice it 10 minutes later after scratching a little itch in a delicate area. WOW did I notice it! Anyway - this NOW oil is good potent quality. It comes in a brown bottle to protect it from light (which is necessary if you don't want to waste your money). And it give you 4 times the amount you would get for the price of other brands. I have used it to treat a severe tooth ache and was able to sleep though the night. I cleaned and disinfected the area and continued using the oil up to 3 times a day as needed. I was able to stop taking NSAID pain relievers and the worst of the tooth problem cleared up within a few days. Getting adequate dental care is a big problem for me and this oil has been a life saver.

I began looking for steam distilled clove oil a few weeks ago as part of a treatment for Candida Albicans; a potentially pathogenic fungus. Clove oil is almost pure eugenol; the aromatic compound from which it gets its flavor and aroma. Anyone who has eaten spiced ham or drank spiced cider probably is familiar with this famous spice's character. Eugenol is beneficial for many reasons. Clove oil has powerful antioxidant. antiviral and antimicrobial properties. It attacks and destroys the cell walls of microbes such as bacteria and fungi making it a very valuable weapon in the war against candida, nail fungus, bacterial infections, et-al. Knowing that pure essential oils could be very expensive I was ecstatic to find four ounces of pure steam distilled oil for under twenty dollars! I ordered it on the spot. When it arrived I was very happy with the pungent odor and flavor-then I discovered something that caused me some consternation. The bottle was labeled 'not for internal use' despite the fact that the information states that it's good for general digestive health. After a few days of looking for an alternative I finally emailed Now Foods; the producer of the product. They very kindly cleared this matter up for me; saying this: "> Our 100% pure essential oils are food grade. Safe to take internally > when properly diluted beforehand. We don't state that on our label > because we are marketing the essential oils for aromatherapy purposes > and stating safe for internal use at the same time would violate label > regulations. We encourage our consumers to consult a reference, > recipe, etc. to ensure safety. Clove Oil is steam-distilled. No use of > chemicals or solvents. It is 100% Clove Oil." This means that the oil is safe to use as a flavoring, anesthetic for mouth sores (at which I understand it excels), and for general digestive health and as a suppliment BUT AS STATED it must be properly diluted and applied. The oil by itself should never be used without at first diluting it. It's too strong. There are many resources available on the internet and in other health publications that explain the proper use of essential oils. These oils are often toxic at full strength-I URGE YOU to take notice of this before you use this product. No matter what you plan to do with it it is very powerful and a little should last you a long time. I'm writing this review primarily because I desired to use it for internal use and could not find any solid answers on the matter. I saw by reading the reviews that there were many such questions. I hope this puts this question to rest for all times. So yes the product is not adulterated with anything that would make it unsafe for use but PLEASE do some research before using it internally! I want to state that Now Foods' support is very concise and quick and they answered my question thoroughly to my satisfaction within a day. Due to its low cost, high potency and due to the alacrity and clarity with which I was assisted by Now Foods' customor support I'm giving this five stars. I hope this review is helpful.

Great quality, 100% pure oil. I really like the speed the the drops come out of the bottle at.

Did the job I intended itfor

購入を決めたのは、実家に連続してゴキブリが出たため。クローブには、「オイゲノール」という「ゴキブリが嫌う成分」が多く入っている、とアロマセラピーを勉強し知っていたので、翌日届くこちらを選んで購入。量に対して値段が安いのもいい。 届いてから直ぐにアロマストーンに適宜垂らして臭いをキープ。スーッとする感じの香りです。私は嫌いじゃありません。 その後どうなったかというと、実家に連絡したらあれ以来ゴキブリがでなくなったとのこと。家族が「直ぐオイルが乾いちゃうからもったいない」と心配していましたが、「30mlも入っているし、値段も高くないからじゃんじゃん使ってよろしい。」とお伝えしています。 ゴキブリ対策としてオススメします！！

I like it

The product was fit for purpose. Unfortunately I had to pierce the lid to break the air seal as we could not open the child proof screw cap.
