Clove Oil: An Aromatic Revolution from the Dental Clinic to Healthy Living

[Modern Applications of Traditional Medicine]

Clove oil, derived from the buds of the Myrtaceae plant, contains over 85% Eugenol, its core ingredient, and has long been used for dental analgesia and oral anti-inflammatory purposes. In recent years, with the rise in popularity of aromatherapy, the application of clove oil has expanded from professional medical care to everyday health management. Studies have shown that its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are significantly effective in relieving toothaches, promoting digestion, and boosting immunity.

[Market and Industry Trends]

According to the 2025 Shanghai International Aromatherapy Exhibition, the Traditional Chinese Medicine aromatherapy industry is experiencing explosive growth, with demand for clove oil, a representative ingredient, increasing by over 30% annually. Many spice companies in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and other regions are expanding production, using supercritical CO2 extraction technology to enhance the purity of essential oils. Some high-end products are now exported to the European and American markets.

Experts warn that clove oil should be diluted before use; applying it directly may irritate the skin. Recommended Uses:

Toothache Relief: Mix 1 drop of essential oil with 5ml of olive oil, dip a cotton swab in the mixture, and gently apply to the affected area.

Aromatherapy: Add 2 drops of essential oil to a diffuser to relieve anxiety and purify the air.

[Future Outlook]

"The analgesic mechanism of eugenol is being studied in depth, and it may be developed into a new over-the-counter painkiller in the future," said an expert from the Wuhan University School of Stomatology. As the concept of "natural health" deepens, clove oil is expected to become a staple in every home medicine cabinet.
