Mechanism of Action

The active component in clove oil, eugenol, is believed to exert its effects through several mechanisms:

Analgesic effect: Eugenol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, reducing pain and inflammation.
Antimicrobial effect: Eugenol has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Anti-inflammatory effect: Cleanstar Clove Mouthwash 3 gm/100 ml reduces inflammation by suppressing inflammatory cytokines and mediators.

How Long Does It Take to Work?

The onset of action for clove oil can vary depending on its use. For dental pain relief, the effects can be felt within a few minutes after application. When used for muscle or joint pain, relief may be experienced within 30 to 60 minutes.

Absorption

When applied topically, clove oil is absorbed through the skin, with eugenol penetrating the epidermal layers. In oral or inhaled use, it is absorbed through the mucous membranes and gastrointestinal tract.

Route of Elimination

Eugenol, the primary component of clove oil, is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily through the urine. The metabolites are also excreted in feces to a lesser extent.

Dosage

Dosage varies based on the intended use:

For dental pain: Apply a small amount (1-2 drops) of clove oil directly to the affected area using a cotton swab. Do not apply more frequently than every 2-3 hours.
For topical application: Dilute 2-3 drops of clove oil with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut oil) and apply to the affected area up to twice daily.
For aromatherapy: Use 2-4 drops in a diffuser per session.
