Description
Eugenol, the main component of clove oil, is widely used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. Clove oil is often recommended for patients with eczema, as it has powerful antimicrobial properties. Eugenol in clove oil has rejuvenating and stimulating properties that can increase blood flow to the skin and give it a glowing look. You will find it in many anti-aging products to reduce the effects of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin and spots. Avoid cosmetics that contain this hazardous ingredient. It has a hazardous effect on the immune and nervous systems; it suppresses the endocrine system.
