CLOVE BUD ESSENTIAL OIL

Caution: Clove Bud  Essential Oil is powerful and can sensitise skin if not diluted sufficiently. Always dilute well before applying to skin. If your skin feels uncomfortable after application ...dilute the area further wit carrier or cooking oil until comfortable.

Tooth Ache: Clove bud essential oil is often used in dental procedures to dull tooth nerve pain. Just add a drop of the oil to a cotton bud before applying it topically to the gums. Hold in place for a few seconds.
Muscular Pain: Mix 4 drops of Clove Bud Oil and 4 drops Rosemary Oil in 20 ml of carrier oil and apply to affected areas. Avoid sensitive skin and mucous membranes.
To Energise: Diffuse 2 drops of Clove Bud Oil and 4 of Sweet Orange Oil via diffuser or oil burner. Possible dermal sensitiser and irritant. Avoid during pregnancy.

• Diffuse: Add 5 to 10 drops to your chosen essential oil or blend to the diffuser or oil burner. Experiment with different combinations of oils and blends.  Don't forget to write each blend into a dedicated notebook along with your feedback. That way you'll get to know which blends are the most effective for you.
• Bath: Do not add undiluted essential oils to your bathwater. Oil and water do not mix. Instead mix 3 to 5 drops of your chosen essential oils or blends  with a drop of shampoo/ detergent or in 20 ml (1 tablespoon) of full cream milk. Add this emulsion to the bathwater and slip in. The essential oils emulsifies in shampoo / detergent / milk and so distributes them more evenly throughout the bathwater.
• Warm Compress: Place 1 drop of essential oil into a small bowl of warm water. Soak a washcloth in the water and wring out well. Place the washcloth over the face with eyes closed and relax, Repeat as needed. Do not exceed 1 drop of essential oil and use with caution when using strong essential oils and blends like Moon Haven's Clove, Cinnamon, Thieves Essential oils and blends.
• Steam Shower Inhalation: Enjoy an aromatherapy shower by placing 3 to 5 drops of your choice of essential oils and /or blends on a washcloth on the floor of your shower. Turn off the fan and enjoy the essential oil laden steam while you shower. (Note: Do not place essential oils directly onto the shower tiles as the oils may break down the tile glaze)
• Massage Oil: Create your own massage medium oil or cream. Use Moon Haven's Essential Oil Dilutions Chart to calculate the correct number of essential oil drops to add to your chosen carrier oil or massage cream. enjoy!
• Direct Inhalation: Sometimes we just need a quick pick me up and that can mean just opening up your favourite essential oil or blend and taking a quick whiff. Alternatively, if you find the scent from an open bottle a little too strong for you, just smell the bottle cap. The result will be a gentler, more subtle fragrance.
