Clove—Boundaries

Have you ever had trouble saying no? Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) is the Oil of Boundaries. It supports us in letting go of victim mentality and in standing up for ourselves. It reconnects us with our personal integrity and helps us feel empowered and protected.

Traditionally it's been used in easing dental pain and can be supportive of quitting smoking (reach out for the protocol!). It's also associated with improving memory.

When used topically, the bottoms of the feet are the best spot. Clove is a spicy oil, so should always be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. It can also be added to a diffuser blend, added to foods, and placed directly on irritated teeth.
