lol Jim we know olive oil is good in salads smirk but the question was re oil of cloves.
The smell of this reminds me of the dentist I have used it for toothache many years ago.
My mouth wash (Dentyl) comes in 2 �flavours�..one being oil of cloves.
Below is a couple of comments from a quick google but it is best to check with the doctors.
�A mixture of oil of cloves and tea tree oil 50/50 can help with the pain and infection caused by mouth ulcers. Apply a very small dab onto the ulcer�
�Its great as a teething preparation or for mouth ulcers.�
