Alternative Healing – Secrets of Clove Oil

If you aren’t familiar with clove oil yet just imagine the grinding of a dentists drill.  Ahh, the memories!  Surprisingly I quite like the smell in moderation.

Clove oil has been used historically for tooth aches but there are many other uses as a natural alternative for healing.

For example it is HIGHLY effective for mould.  I moved into a house with the constant smell of mould lingering in the pantry.  I wiped it out with salty water, vinegar, and whatever.  Nothing worked….until I remembered about clove oil and brought a bottle.  About a 1/4 teaspoon in a one litre spray pack well mixed, sprayed on the surfaces of the pantry, and volia!  My house smelled festive for days.

Of course if you suffer from mould related health issues this can be is a Godsend.

Not only used for pain killing this handy little alternative healing oil is also has antiseptic and antiparasitic qualities.  It can be used for cleaning and numbing cuts.

As always care needs to be taken with use.  Clove oil can cause an allergic reaction when applied topically so is diluted with vegetable oil (one drop to four ounces of oil) and can be poisonous if consumed in a large dose.

There are a variety of people who should avoid using clove oil including, but not limited to pregnant women, people with liver or kidney disease, so make sure you check out the risk before buying any.
