Clove Bud

Botanical Name: Syzygium aromaticum 

Plant Part: Buds

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: Indonesia

Description: Clove Bud Essential Oil is derived from the tree Syzgium aromaticum plant. It is a slender evergreen that grows up to 12 meters in height (approximately 36 feet). At the start of the rainy season, long buds appear. They change color over time and are beaten from the trees and dried. These are the cloves sold commercially.

Aromatic Scent: Clove Bud (Indonesia) Essential Oil smells like the actual cloves from which it has been distilled. The aroma of this oil is typical of the Indonesian variety, which is spicier than the Sri Lankan and Indian varieties, being less sweet and slightly more herbaceous. Because of this difference, we recommend that you order a sample before making a larger order.

Note: Middle

Common Uses: The bud of this evergreen, indigenous to Southeast Asia, has a long history as an effective agent for minor pains and aches, particularly dental pain because of its numerous effects on oral tissues. It is widely used in contemporary Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
