Clove Bud, Organic: Madagascar (Syzygium aromaticuma)
Used as a common spice, Clove is an essential part of Chinese and Ayavadic medicine. The plant also produces the essential oil with the highest antioxidant capability. (ORAC value over a million.) The oil is obtained from the twigs, leaves, and dried flower buds that have not yet opened. The twigs and leaf oil is not as therapeutic in its action, however they cost about one third the price of the less irritating more therapeutic bud oil.
The main differences in the three Clove oils are the Clove Twig oil is the least therapeutic and mostly just contains the chemical Eugenol (ninety to ninety-five percent). Clove Leaf oil contains high amounts of Eugenol, about eighty-five percent, with small amounts of Eugenyl Acetate and then only trace amounts of other chemistry. A very high-quality Clove Bud oil contains about seventy-four percent Eugenol and about ten percent each of beta-caryophyllene and Eugenyl Acetate. Greater care is required to obtain high quality Clove Bud oil to limit the Eugenol content and obtain other desired chemistry for therapeutic use. Sadly, in the industry Clove Bud oil is readily adulterated with the Clove Twig and Clove Leaf oils to sell for more money. Use Clove Bud oil that has less than 75% Eugenol and higher percentages, closer to 10%, Eugenyl Acetate.
