clove oil

Eugenol-rich extract

Clove oil is an essential oil extracted from clove buds, leaves, or stems.

It has a strong, warm, spicy scent and contains eugenol, which gives it mild antiseptic and numbing properties.

Clove oil is used in dentistry for toothaches, in aromatherapy, and as a flavoring: A drop of clove oil helped ease the pain until I could see the dentist.
