丁香被使用作預防接觸傳染病已有數千年之久, 尤其是在大瘟疫時侯. 它是極為有效的驅蟲劑, 可將帶有病源的昆蟲及蛾蟲驅離. 將丁香, 橙, 肉桂精油混合, 是非常好聞的冬天芳香劑, 用薰香器燃點可預防傳染病. 丁香精油是很好的止痛劑, 許多牙膏、漱口水產品及治療疥癬的藥膏中都添加了丁香作為殺菌劑. 也會添加在乳霜及酒精溶劑中, 用來治療感染性的潰瘍及外傷, 尤其是那些需要較長時間癒合的傷口. 但千萬要注意, 當丁香精油要用在皮膚上時, 一定要小心處理, 因為丁香精油對皮膚有刺激性, 僅需取用少量, 而且要充分加以稀釋.

丁香原產地印尼, 現多生長在馬達加斯加和西印度. 而丁香苞精油是由乾枯的丁香樹中未展開的花苞萃取所得. 其精油可以由花苞, 葉子及莖部萃取. 但只有由花苞萃取的精油比較適合用於芳香療法中. 丁香精油有強烈的皮膚刺激性, 這是由於它含高量的丁香酚, 而花苞中所佔的約60-90%. 但丁香酚的比例會由水楊酸甲酯等其他天然化學成份的出現所平衡, 彼此間互相鎮定及調和.

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum, syn. Eugenia aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata) are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae. It is a slender evergreen that grows up to 12 meters in height (approximately 36 feet). At the start of the rainy season, long buds appear. They change color over time and are beaten from the trees and dried. These are the cloves sold commercially.

Cloves are native to Indonesia and used as a spice in cuisine all over the world. The word clove comes from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail, since the shaft and head of the clove bud resembles a nail. Cloves and nutmeg were among the most precious of items of Europe of the 16th and 17th centuries, and they were worth more than their weight in gold.

According to FAO, Indonesia produced almost 80% of the world's clove output in 2005 followed at a distance by Madagascar and Tanzania.

Medicinal and Nostrums: Cloves are used in Ayurveda called Lavang in India, Chinese medicine and western herbalism and dentistry where the essential oil is used as an anodyne (painkiller) for dental emergencies. Cloves are used as a carminative, to increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach and to improve peristalsis. Cloves are also said to be a natural antihelmintic.The essential oil is used in aromatherapy when stimulation and warming are needed, especially for digestive problems. Topical application over the stomach or abdomen are said to warm the digestive tract.

In Chinese medicine cloves or ding xiang are considered acrid, warm and aromatic, entering the kidney, spleen and stomach meridians, and are notable in their ability to warm the middle, direct stomach qi downward, to treat hiccough and to fortify the kidney yang. Because the herb is so warming it is contraindicated in any persons with fire symptoms and according to classical sources should not be used for anything except cold from yang deficiency. As such it is used in formulas for impotence or clear vaginal discharge from yang deficiency, for morning sickness together with ginseng and patchouli, or for vomiting and diarrhea due to spleen and stomach coldness. This would translate to hypochlorhydria. Clove oil is used in various skin disorders like acne, pimples etc. It is also used in severe burns, skin irritations and to reduce the sensitiveness of skin.

Ayurvedic herbalist K.P. Khalsa, RH (AHG), uses cloves internally as a tea and topically as an oil for hypotonic muscles, including for multiple sclerosis. This is also found in Tibetan medicine. Ayurvedic herbalist Alan Tilotson, RH (AHG) suggests avoiding more than occasional use of cloves internally in the presence of pitta inflammation such as is found in acute flares of autoimmune diseases.

In West Africa, the Yorubas use cloves infused in water as a treatment for stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhoea.The infusion is called Ogun Jedi-jedi.

Western studies have supported the use of cloves and clove oil for dental pain, and to a lesser extent for fever reduction, as a mosquito repellent and to prevent premature ejaculation. Clove may reduce blood sugar levels.

Toxicity: Large amounts should be avoided in pregnancy. Cloves can be irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, and should be avoided by people with gastric ulcers, colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. In overdoses, cloves can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Severe cases can lead to changes in liver function, dyspnea, loss of consciousness, hallucination, and even death. The internal use of the essential oil should be restricted to 3 drops per day for an adult as excessive use can cause severe kidney damage.
