Clove Oil
as Per IP, BP, USP Grade (Indian, British, and United States Pharmacopoeia):
Natural clove oil originates from the Malacca Islands and various
regions of Indonesia. It has a reddish-brown colour and is
extracted from dried flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium
aromaticum). Cloves have been historically used in China, Greece, and
Rome, where they were valued for their flavour and healing properties. The Latin
name “clove” translates to “nail,” referencing their shape.
Historical
Background
Clove oil derives its botanical name from Eugenia
caryophyllus. According to Dr. Couic Marinier, its medicinal uses date back
to ancient Chinese remedies and are well-documented in traditional texts.
Industrial
Applications
Clove oil is widely used in the food and beverage
industry as a natural preservative and flavour enhancer,
thanks to its primary component, eugenol, known for preserving food
products effectively.
Topical
and Cosmetic Uses
Due to its nerve-blocking and antimicrobial
properties, eugenol is used in topical applications to treat dermatological
conditions. Clove oil is a key ingredient in ointments, creams, gels,
and patches and enhances skin penetration for faster relief.
Extraction
Method
Clove oil is obtained through steam distillation of
clove tree buds, stems, and leaves, ensuring a high concentration of eugenol and
therapeutic properties.
