Clove Bud Oil
Description
Clove was much used by the Greeks, Roman and the Chinese for its medicinal value. One of the most potent antiseptics, Europeans doctors once breathed through clove-filled leather beaks to ward off the plague. The Chinese used it to ease toothache and as a breath sweetener, especially when talking to the Emperor. Clove has antiseptic properties and was used in the prevention of contagious diseases.
