▎Essential Oil Introduction

Clove buds (Eugenia caryophyllus), originating from the Moluccas Islands of Indonesia, now grow in Madagascar, the Philippines, and other regions with similar climates, as they are tropical plants. The flower buds, used as raw material, are known as Clou. Due to their needle-like shape, they are also referred to as 'Ding Zi Xiang' in China. Among spices, cloves have strong aroma, they are available as ground cloves or whole dried buds. Adding a small amount to fish dishes can enhance its flavor and depth.

Cloves, with their pyramidal tree shape adorned with vibrant red flower buds, are among the island's most beautiful plants. After drying, the flower buds emit a spicy aroma, with strong adsorption capabilities. As early as 200 BC, during the Western Han Dynasty, there were records of ministers chewing cloves before attending court sessions, to exhale a fragrant breath when conversing with the emperor. Clove bud essential oil is extracted from dried, unopened flower buds on the clove tree. Other oils extracted from leaves and stems contain a high concentration of eugenol, which can cause strong irritation to the skin and mucous membranes, making them unsuitable for aromatherapy.

Its scent and components have properties that reduce bacterial growth and reproduction, as well as insect repellent characteristics. In Southeast Asian countries and during plague outbreaks in Europe, cloves were used to prevent and resist the spread of infectious diseases.
