Native to southeast Asia, clove is mostly cultivated in coastal areas. It requires high humidity and prospers in areas that get an annual rainfall of 130–180 cm. Clove bud oil is extracted by distilling dried flower buds from the tree. The stem and leaves of the tree can also be used to produce oil. The oil thus produced has hues ranging from colourless to light yellow. It is strong, has a spicy aroma, and has a wide selection of applications. Clove oil is known to have antimicrobial properties that help kill bacteria. It also works as a pain reliever for toothaches and muscle pain. It aids in respiratory conditions like coughing and asthma. Clove oil is also known to be an effective treatment for itching. There is an expectation of demand to pick up in the coming days. Raw material availability is limited, and this could potentially see a surge in the price of oil.
