SUBTLE PROPERTIES
(vibrational and energetic):
Clove helps promote motivation and courage – especially when trying to establish healthy boundaries. If you struggle with confrontation, it will assist you in feeling empowered to stand up for yourself and break patterns of being victimized. It may also help with codependency and learning to be more independent. I like to use it when I care too much about what others think. To help protect yourself and establish boundaries, diffuse throughout the room or dilute and massage over solar plexus or heart.
Fun Facts about Clove:
The oldest Clove tree in the world is believed to be between 350-400 years old and is located on the island of Ternate, in the area known historically as the Spice Islands.
