ml clove oil (CAN; PNC); Mouthwashes with 1–5% EO (KOM; PH2); 2–4 ml concentrated
clove infusion (PNC).Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Cloves) — Class 1 (AHP). “Hazards
and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2). CAN reports the eugenol
in the volatile oil to be an irritant. The oil is a dermal and mucous irritant, sometimes causing
cheilitis, dermatosis, and stomatosis. NO undiluted oil on infants’ gums or throat (Dilution:
2–4 drops oil to 1 tsp almond, safflower, or canola oil) (WAM). May interfere with anticoagulant
therapy. “There are no known problems with the use of clove during pregnancy and lactation,
provided that doses do not greatly exceed the amounts used in foods” (CAN). Clove bud oil
is reported to have an oral LD50 of 2650 mg/kg body weight in rats (equaling that of the
major ingredient, eugenol, which sensitizes some people, causing contact dermatosis) (DAD).
EO LD50 = 2650 mg/kg orl rat (CRC). Major source of the COX-2 inhibitor, oleanolic acid,
with clove up to 2% (COX). As the best source of eugenol, clove (up to 20% eugenol) may
share many of its reported biological activities.CLUBMOSS (Lycopodium clavatum L.) ++Activities (Clubmoss) — Analgesic (f; DEM); Antispasmodic (f; EFS; HHB); Aphrodisiac (f;
