Power of Clove Essential Oil

Do you know………. about a month back, I felt some inflammation and pain around back of my upper teeth gum, so being an Aromatherapist, immediately thought of Clove Essential Oil. What I did, in a 5ml glass vial, I combined 2 drops of Clove Essential Oil with 1tsp of Olive Oil, soaked a swab tip with the clove oil blend and gently swiped the affected area being careful not to touch the swab to other parts of the mouth or lips as Clove oil is a hot, potent oil. Repeated this every 6hrs for 2 days. By third day, I was very happy to notice significant reduction in pain and swelling, so continued this treatment for a week till the swelling disappeared completely. Of course, if it wouldn’t have helped in first 2 days, I would have contacted my Dentist.
