Can I put clove oil directly on a tooth or gum?

We do not recommend applying essential oils inside the mouth at home. Clove is extremely concentrated and can irritate gum tissue. For dental pain see a dentist — that is the only reliable route.

How much clove oil is safe on the skin?

A maximum of 1 drop in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil, on a small area, after a patch test. Clove is a known sensitiser, so repeated heavy use on the same spot is exactly what to avoid.

What does clove essential oil blend well with?

Wild orange is the classic partner — 1 drop clove to 3 drops orange gives a warm, festive room. Cinnamon, ginger and frankincense also work beautifully for cooler months.

What is the price of clove essential oil in India?

The dōTERRA Clove price on Melini India is listed in INR including tax, with flat ₹99 Pan-India shipping and delivery in 3–7 business days.
