Our sense of smell is a key that can unlock and release emotional pain that we have buried deep inside ourselves. What would it feel like to be free of those burdens?
Clove is the oil of boundaries. It is a good oil to use when you need courage and clear boundaries, or when you need to feel protected, courageous, capable and independent. Clove helps you be proactive, to stand up for yourself and live in integrity.
Use Clove when you feel victimized, dominated, defeated or enslaved, or when you feel intimidated, controlled, codependent or when you fear rejection. Clove gives you strength to break free of patterns of exploitation.
Inhale from the bottle, diffuse it, or place a drop in your hands and inhale deeply. To use Clove topically, dilute 1-2 drops with carrier oil and apply to the bottoms of the feet or to the lower abdomen. (Note: Clove is considered a hot oil, so use caution when applying it topically.) To use it internally, take 1-2 drops under the tongue, in a capsule, or in water.
