CLOVE SEEDS

Clove seeds are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, which is native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia and is now widely grown in tropical regions around the world. The seeds themselves are not as commonly used as the flower buds (cloves), but they still contain many of the same beneficial compounds found in the clove plant, such as eugenol, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Clove seeds are used in aromatherapy, culinary applications, and more commonly, clove oil (extracted from the buds) is utilized in skincare, oral care, and pain relief products. The antibacterial, antifungal, and pain-relieving properties of clove seeds make them valuable for various health benefits.

Clove seeds contain eugenol, which has powerful antibacterial and antifungal effects. This makes them helpful for treating skin conditions like acne, eczema, and fungal infections. They help reduce bacteria on the skin, promote clear skin, and fight infections that can lead to breakouts.

The antifungal properties of clove seeds make them useful for managing dandruff or scalp infections. When added to hair care products, they can help improve scalp health, reduce itchiness, and promote a clean and healthy scalp.
