Stiff muscles, tired joints or a lack of physical comfort can significantly hinder your daily routine. When your body protests after physical exertion or due to daily strain, you look for a powerful, natural method to support your recovery. Oak Clove organic offers the targeted care your body needs. This organic essential oil has traditionally been known for its intensive effect and is an indispensable addition to your home medicine cabinet for a soothing, local massage of muscles and joints.
Oak Clove organic is obtained through careful steam distillation of the clove plant (Eugenia caryophyllata). This essential oil is characterised by a particularly high content of eugenol. This specific component gives the oil its powerful, warming properties that are extremely suitable for stimulating blood circulation and soothing stiff muscles and joints. Due to this intense concentration, the oil must always be well diluted in a vegetable oil before it is applied to the skin.

Precautions for external use:
1. As a precaution, it is recommended not to use essential oils in children under 3 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. True lavender and Eucalyptus radiata are exceptions to this.
2. Never apply undiluted to the skin. Dilute in a vegetable oil, cream, gel or shampoo, also for use in the bath! Some essential oils can be applied pure to the skin after advice from a health professional.
3. Essential oils naturally contain components that can cause allergic reactions in hypersensitive people (e.g. citral, d-limonene, linalool, geraniol, citronellol,…). These components are always stated on the packaging. Before you use an essential oil on the skin, it is wise to do an allergy test. Dilute a drop of essential oil in 10 ml of vegetable oil and apply this to the inside of your elbow. If the skin does not feel red or itchy after 24 hours, you are not allergic.
4. All citrus essential oils are photosensitising! Photosensitisation is the result of an interaction between UV rays and a sensitising substance. The skin becomes red and looks burnt. Avoid exposure to UV rays for at least 12 hours after use on the skin!
5. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, nose and mucous membranes! In case of accidental contact: immediately 'rinse' with vegetable oil.
