Clove essential oil is typically used in aromatherapy for its invigorating and energizing effects. Clove oil is also known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and can be used topically to help relieve muscle and joint pain. However, clove oil should be used with caution and avoided by people with certain medical conditions and during pregnancy. It's also recommended to dilute clove oil properly before use, as it can be irritating to the skin if used undiluted.
