We got a terrible virus that left us with sinus, sore throat, terrible backaches, fever, etc.

I had to do something so I dropped 2 drops of clove oil on every tongue and gave them a glass of water to drink. Two hours later, I was free of all symptoms. My daughter took 2 days longer. She took oil several times a day.

I have not been so sick for a long time. My daughter was beside herself and falling to pieces with nothing to help. She is sold on clove oil.

I love using essential oils on a daily basis. Do note however that the steam inhalation method is not recomended for people with asthma. You can use this same formula in a tealight diffuser or mixed in a little almond oil to rub on your chest.
