Clove has been treasured as a healing spice for thousands of years. Ancient cultures valued it as highly as gold because of its powerful ability to numb pain, kill bacteria, support digestion, and heal infections.
Long before chemical antiseptics and painkillers existed, clove was the go-to remedy for everything from toothaches to wounds.
Today, modern science continues to validate what traditional medicine always knew: clove oil is one of the most effective natural first-aid essentials you can keep at home.
Clove oil contains a compound called eugenol, which acts as a natural anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal agent.
This makes it incredibly useful for pain relief, infection control, wound care, immunity, and even digestive support.
While essential oil versions are sold in stores, homemade clove oil is gentle, safe when properly diluted, and easy to prepare using simple ingredients you already have in your kitchen.
Once made, a small bottle can serve as toothache relief, a disinfectant, a muscle rub, an antifungal treatment, an immune booster, and so much more.
How to Make Clove Oil at Home
Making clove oil is surprisingly simple. The traditional method involves steeping dried cloves in a carrier oil to slowly extract the beneficial compounds.
You’ll need whole dried cloves, a mild oil such as olive, almond, coconut, jojoba, or grapeseed oil, and a clean glass jar.
Lightly crush the cloves to release their natural oils, place them in the jar, and cover completely with your chosen oil. Seal the jar and leave it in a dark place for two to four weeks, shaking it occasionally.
The longer it infuses, the stronger it will become. When ready, strain the oil through a fine cloth or mesh and store it in a dark glass bottle.
If you need clove oil immediately, you can speed up the process using a warm-infusion method. Place the cloves and oil in a heat-safe jar or double boiler and warm over low heat for one to two hours.
Avoid boiling the oil, as high heat damages the medicinal compounds. Once cooled and strained, it is ready for use.
Either method creates a potent natural remedy that can last six months to a year if properly stored in a cool, dark place.
