Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
Clove oil is distilled by steam from the Syzgium aromaticum plant. This evergreen plant grows twenty-six to thirty-nine feet tall. It has square leaves and pink colorful flowers that grow in clusters. The flowers are harvested when they're less than one linch in length and red in color. They're dried in the sun until turning a dark brown color with a hard texture. The name "clove' is derived from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail. This plant is found mainly in Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Eastern Africa.
There are three types of clove oil: Bud, Leaf and Stem. They are all derived from the same plant, (Syzgium aromaticum), but from different locations. Bud oil is derived from the flower buds, Leaf oil from leaves and Stem oil from the twigs.
Bud Oil contains 60% - 90% eugenol, eugenic acetate, caryophyllene and other minor constituents
Leaf Oil contains 82% - 88% eugenol with little or no eugenol acetate and minor constituents
Stem Oil contains 90% - 95% eugenol with other minor constituents
Eugenol is a clear to pale yellow oil extracted from certain essential oils: clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil and bay leaf. It's responsible for the clove aroma. It's used in perfumes and flavorings. It's the main ingredient in clove essential oil. It's also used, medicinally, as an antiseptic and anesthetic. When mixed with zinc oxide, it forms a material useful for making restorative dental applications.
WARNING! DO NOT OVERDOSE! Eugenol is hepatic meaning it can, possibly, cause liver damage. It may cause other conditions, too, including: convulsions, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, blood in urine or unconsciousness. Avoid if you have an eugenol allergy. Eugenol may cause allergic dermatitis or skin irritations such as: itching, redness, tenderness, or inflammation. Avoid if you have sensitive skin, if you are pregnant, have kidney or liver conditions, have prostate cancer, are on blood thinners, have hemophilia, or have breathing problems. Always consult your health care provider, if in doubt, before using clove essential oil for any reason.
Another chemical compound of clove oil is caryophyllene.
