Clove Bud

Clove has been used for years in dental preparations, candy, and gum for its flavor and ability to cleanse the mouth, yet it provides a myriad of benefits. Its main chemical component, eugenol, creates a very stimulating and energizing aroma that can be used as a warming massage oil. As a cooking spice, Clove adds a spicy flavor to any dish or dessert. One drop can help promote fresh breath. NPN#80073542
