In traditional medicine, clove essential oil is mainly used as an antiseptic and antibiotic. It helps in treating infectious diseases, intestinal parasites, oral and dental pain, etc. Additionally, it can be blended with essential oils such as basil, bergamot, cinnamon, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, tangerine, peppermint, rose, rosemary, and ylang-ylang to create wonderful aromatherapy massage and aromatherapy recipes.
