Oil of clove
Oil of cloves / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oil of clove, also known as clove oil or eugenol, is an essential oil extracted from the clove plant, Syzygium aromaticum.[1][2] Clove oil is commonly used in aromatherapy and for flavoring food, tea, and toothpaste.[2][3] In alternative medicine, it may be used as a topical medication to relieve toothache.[1][3][4] There is insufficient medical evidence to support its use as an analgesic for treating pain.[1][3]
