⚠️ Important Safety Notes
Skin Sensitivity:
Clove oil is potent and may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Always perform a patch test prior to widespread use. Avoid application on or near babies and young children.
Oral Use Caution:
For temporary relief of toothache, apply a very small amount with a cotton swab directly to the affected area. Do not swallow and avoid frequent use, as larger quantities can be harmful.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:
Use only under medical supervision, as clove oil may stimulate uterine contractions.
Medical Conditions & Medications:
Clove oil may affect blood clotting and is not recommended for individuals taking blood thinners or with bleeding disorders. Always consult a healthcare professional before use.
Ingestion Warning:
Never ingest undiluted clove oil without medical guidance. Even small amounts may cause liver damage or other serious health issues.
