  • as an antimicrobial, to help kill bacteria
  • as a pain reliever for conditions such as toothache and muscle pain
  • for digestive upset
  • to relieve respiratory conditions like cough and asthma

Skin irritation - Clove oil can cause skin irritation in some people. If you’re concerned about your sensitivity to clove oil, test it first. To do this, apply a small amount of diluted clove oil to the inside of your elbow.

If you notice signs of skin irritation, like redness, itching, or swelling, don’t use clove oil topically.

  • rash or hives, which may be itchy

  • tightness in the throat or trouble swallowing
