Summer BBQ’s usually include lots of meat and sugar. A great way to keep our oral hygiene superb is to add Clove Essential Oil to our brushing routine. You can add one drop of Clove to your toothpaste, which will promote clean teeth and fresh breath. Though it is more commonly recognized as a ground household spice, Clove oil is a unique and powerful option that you can utilize even outside the kitchen.
Clove oil brings a warming sensation to the skin and is sometimes used for massage therapy. Keep in mind, however, that Clove is known as a hot oil, and should always be diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Or, if you want to enjoy the benefits of a calming, warm foot massage at home, you can also combine Clove essential oil with the doTERRA Hand and Body lotion.
