Bulk Super Foods Organic Clove Bud Oil

Clove bud oil is an essential oil that’s derived from clove trees. The clove tree, known as Syzygium aromaticum, is native to Southeast Asia, although today it can be found growing in other locations, too. Clove oil ranges in colour from colourless to light yellow and has a strong, spicy aroma. The oil has been used for centuries for a variety of purposes, including killing bacteria, tooth pain relieving benefits, digestive issues, etc. Bulk Super Foods organic clove bud oil is produced by distilling the dried flower buds that are collected from the clove tree and is free from harmful additives.
