Long forgotten Clove is an all-natural fighter of
skin fungal conditions and body odors which at Indochine Natural we have
incorporated into some of our products.
The skin benefits of Clove are legendary, but before
talking about these it is worthwhile reminding ourselves that the benefits of
Clove have
a very long history that goes back thousands of years. One of the first
recorded references to Clove says that the Chinese, in order to approach the
emperor, had to have a few Cloves in their mouths to sweeten the breath. Historically,
Cloves were once very costly and fiercely traded and played an important part in
world history and the lucrative spice trade between Asia and Europe during the
16th and 17th century that spurred expeditions as well as wars.
Cloves have been used historically to treat many ailments.
They have antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antispasmodic, antiviral,
antiparasitic, analgesic, and simulative properties making them a great overall
healer. They can be used to stimulate the mind as well as prevent nausea,
diarrhea, ease coughs, aid in digestion, and even treat conditions like malaria
and cholera. They can also be used topically to treat acne, styes and sores. In
modern times many of these benefits are ignored, however there is a smattering
of scientific research demonstrating the effectiveness of Clove as a microbial
inhibitor. For example, A novel aromatic oil
compound inhibits microbial overgrowth on feet: a case study (J
Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2007 Jul 13;4:3), and Microbicide activity of clove essential oil (Eugenia
caryophyllata) Braz
J Microbiol. 2012 Oct;43(4):1255-60
With all of these benefits in mind, we developed the Indochine Natural Clove Soap. The spicy
and woody aroma of this soap warms the senses and helps you begin each day with
a clear mind and positive energy.
Because of the anti-fungal properties of Clove this is a useful soap to
use regularly in your efforts to keep skin fungal conditions at bay. Plus, this
Clove Soap has deodorizing properties to freshen and reduce body odor.
IMPORTANT: This soap is not a cure for skin
fungal conditions, for that you need to consult your doctor.
Observant followers of Indochine Natural may
have noticed that we also use Clove essential oil in our Spice Island BodyWash and Tropical Flower Shampoo.
