Originated from Indonesia and the southern Philippines, cloves have been used in Asia for thousands of years and were regarded as a panacea for almost all ills. They have often been given to treat infections. Cosmetically clove buds extracts are used due to their anti-irritant, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant effects in the treatment of sensitive and inflamed skin. They are also stimulant, both to the mind and to the body. Cloves can be also used as an insect repellent to reduce inflammatory reactions from insect’s bites.
