As the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, there's one essential oil that perfectly captures the warmth of the season - Clove! But Clove essential oil is more than just a cozy, autumn scent; it's jam-packed with antioxidants and powerful benefits that make it a must-have for your wellness routine. Let's explore the science and health benefits behind this fall favorite!

Rich in Antioxidants

Did you know? Clove essential oil is one of the most antioxidant-rich oils out there! Antioxidants help protect your cells from free radical damage, which is linked to aging and various diseases. By supporting your body's natural defenses, Clove oil can play a key role in maintaining your overall health. 

Immune System Support

Clove oil has been traditionally used for its immune-boosting properties. Its main component, eugenol, is known for its ability to support the immune system, helping your body stay resilient during the cooler months. Diffuse Clove oil or apply it topically (diluted) to support your immune health naturally. 

Oral Health

Clove has a long history of use in dental care, thanks to its numbing properties and ability to combat oral bacteria. It's a key ingredient in many natural dental products., including Young Living's Thieves line. Clove oil can help soothe gums and support a healthy mouth when used in a diluted form for oil pulling or added to your toothpaste. 

Soothing and Warming

With its warm, spicy aroma, Clove oil is perfect for soothing sore muscles and joints. Apply it topically (always dilute with a carrier oil) to create a warming sensation that can ease tension and discomfort. It's also great for adding to massage oils for a comforting experience after a long day. 

Digestive Support

Clove essential oil has been used traditionally to support digestion. it can help alleviate occasional digestive discomfort and promote a healthy digestive system. Add a drop to warm water or your favorite fall tea for a soothing digestive tonic. 

How to Use Clove Essential Oil

  • Diffuse: Add 2-3 drops to your diffuser for a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pair with other fall favorites like Cinnamon Bark and Orange for a cozy blend. 
  • Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to sore muscles or joints for a warming, soothing effect. 
  • Oral Care: Add a drop to your toothpaste or dilute with a carrier oil for oil pulling to support oral health.
  • Internal: Add a drop to warm water, tea, or capsules to support digestion and overall wellness. 
Pro Tip: Combine Clove with other immune-supporting oils like Thieves, Lemon, and Frankincense to create a powerful wellness blend that can help you stay strong and healthy all season long.

About Patty

 

Welcome to A Breath of Fresh Air! 

Hi, my name is Patty and I'm so happy you stopped by! Let me tell you a little bit about me. I'm a mom of 2 adult children and a kitty named Gabby, a grandma, and a massage therapist. I feel very strongly about using products that are not loaded with toxic chemicals, are cruelty free, and are from companies who make positive changes in this world we live in. I have spent the past several years trying to clean up my own cleaning and personal care products that I use at home and in my massage practice.
Let's be clear, just because a product meets these standards, does not mean it's a good product. It has to work. I hope you will come along with me on this journey to find clean, safe and effective products, have some fun making some DIY products and seeing if they really work, and learning about not only what products work, but why they work. 

We will dive into the world of essential oils, household cleaning products, personal care products, supplements, CBD, pet care, baby safe products, kid safe products, and so much more. While you're here, go ahead and check out my blog page and don't forget to follow my Facebook page

If there is anything you would like more information on or have a topic you would like me to cover, please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. I'm always happy to help people find clean, safe and effective products that fit into your lifestyle.
