Essential Oil Education

Traditionally clove has been used as a spice worldwide but did you know that it has outstanding healing qualities as well? Tincture of cloves has been used for skin infections like scabies and athlete’s foot, for digestive upsets for intestinal parasites and most notably for tooth aches. In traditional folk medicine, clove buds were steeped in wine to ease the pain of childbirth. In Chinese medicine, the oil is used for diarrhea, hernia, bad breath and bronchitis. 

 Clove oil today is viewed as having anti-aging, antitumoral, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic and anesthetic, antioxidant, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant and anti worms properties.  It is the highest antioxidant oil ever measured. No wonder it is considered an anti-aging oil. The main effect of clove is antiseptic, having a broad spectrum of action against bacteria and viruses. It is considered a strengthening oil and an oil for longevity.

 Now with all that said, how can clove oil protect you and your family from influenza? Clove is in the Inner Defense softgels which is a specially formulated blend of high-powered aldehydes and phenolics, encapsulated in an fast-release vegetarian soft gel. Inner Defense along with  a good probiotic is an excellent way to protect yourself and your family this flu season.
