CLOVE SPICE HYDROSOL

Let's Get to Know Cloves

Cloves are the dried, unopened, nail-shaped flower buds of the evergreen Syzygium aromaticum tree. The name "clove" is derived from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail, because of its shape.

Its name comes from the French word "clou" (nail), because the buds resemble nails of various sizes.

Originating in Indonesia, it is used as a spice in cuisines worldwide.

The spice, obtained from the flower buds of the clove tree, is woody, black in color, and fragrant. It has a bitter and sour taste.

In the Moluccas Islands (now part of Indonesia), where the clove was first discovered, parents would plant a clove tree when their child was born. The tree's health was considered a good omen for the child's health.

Cloves were commonly consumed with food, as tea, and smoked with tobacco. Indigenous people ingested the spice to relieve gas and colic, and applied it topically to alleviate limb pain.

Furthermore, locals believed cloves possessed all sorts of natural and supernatural powers, including the ability to increase sexual desire in both men and women, and therefore used them as an aphrodisiac.

Indigenous men in the archipelago used cloves during wartime, believing they made them invisible and thus invincible against enemy attacks.
