Clove oil is an essential oil that is derived from clove trees. The clove tree, known as Syzygium
aromaticum (Eugenia caryophyllata,), is native to Southeast Asia can live up to 100 years, although
today you may find it growing in other locations too. Clove gets its name from the Latin word clavus,
meaning “nail.” This is a fitting name, as the buds of clove resemble small tacks or nails. Clove trees
have been useful for centuries for cooking, perfumes, and other aromatic uses. Clove was listed in the
early German medicines by highly regarded Herbalists. Healers in China and India have used clove buds
since ancient times as part of their treatments. History tells us that the Chinese have used clove for more
than 2,000 years as a fragrance, spice and medicine. Cloves were brought to China from Indonesia as
early as 200 BC. Back then, people would hold cloves in their mouths to improve breath odor during
audiences with their emperor. Clove oil has literally been a lifesaver at certain points in history. It was
one of the main essential oils that protected people from getting the bubonic plague in Europe. The
