thread_title: Oral usage

message: I once used clove oil against an itch cuased by an worm under my skin that would have otherwise kept me awake. It worked like a miracle. But this is sort of medicinal info, so I won't enter it myself. DirkvdM 07:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I have also used clove oil myself for irritation and, indeed, for pain, and found it quite effective and quite fast.  That said, Wikipedia relies on secondary sources as an encyclopedia, and your experience, as well as mine, fall in the category of original research (OR), and as such are not allowed within the atticle.

message: I find it troubling that this article is offering medical advice without citing its sources. 
Obviously, there's more going on here than just sourcing: the oral use section needs a fair amount of cleanup to bring it to clear English usage. ("It" is sometimes necessary? Who recommends what doesn't touch skin or gums?) But I don't want to clean it up without first having some sources for the statements. "Extremely fast and extremely well" needs to be sourced before it can be considered NPOV, statements about "necessity" similarly need sourcing, and statements about dosages and appropriate uses absolutely need to be sourced.

message: I just tested some out less than 0.5ml on a spider I found in my room and it knocked it out clean, I thought it was dead for about 10 mins until I saw some twitching in the legs as it dried off. Also I dscovered it dissolves polystrene.  Wolfmankurd 01:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crop & Price Idea !!! 

message: Clove oil and eugenol, one of the chemicals it contains, have long been used topically for toothache, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reclassified eugenol, downgrading its effectiveness rating. The FDA now believes there isn’t enough evidence to rate eugenol as effective for toothache pain.

thread_title:  Clove oil and toothache: not endorsed by FDA 

message: The article states:  "Bud oil is derived form the flower-buds of S. aromaticum. It consists of 60–90% eugenol, eugenyl acetate, caryophyllene and other minor constituents."  To what does the 60-90 percent refer?  just the eugenol? or all the things in the list?  If "all the things in the list," then including "other minor constituents" in that percent seems odd. (EnochBethany (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: My reading is 60-90% eugenol.  This seems consistent with the rest of the content.  As you have said, any other enterpretation would indeed be odd, given the purpose of the breakdown.  I may be wrong.  That happens occasionally.  Rags (talk) 04:22, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Ambiguous percent

message: Is it worth including an 'in popular culture' section (as is seen in many other articles) with a mention of the famous scene from the Dustin Hoffman film Marathon Man? 122.150.178.86 (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note the mention of the 'Marathon Man' scene in the very first comment, above, unsigned but probably posted in 2006.  Personally, I don't have a problem with it, and I agree that for many folks, esp. among Western hemisphere moviegoers, this is the first awareness they have of the essential oil and its properties.  However, when the specific scene has been a part of the article, and has been removed, it would behoove you to find good, solid secondary sources in support, if you wish to champion its use.

thread_title: In Popular Culture

message: I propose to move (rename) to Oil of clove, which would be more consistent with correct usage and product marketing, as well as tech literature.  Any comments?  Rags (talk) 04:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Move

message: Just please all stop expecting government agencies and fake charities to be a reliable source of such matters (previously there had been more than one link to the American Cancer Society or some such, leading to a blank page). More and more products are being banned using fake 'science' via taxpayer-funded 'charities'. Wikipedia should be promoting truth, but I fully expect there is a platoon of paid government editors changing 'inconvenient' information, just like the government plants stories in the 'news' media and the EU openly admits to spending millions by employing people to pose as ordinary people on social media to put forth the case for continued EU membership.
How many people don't believe the latter? Well, they announced it first. 
I believe we live in truly ignorant times where most people only hear what they want to hear and only 'think' with their emotions. That so many were willing to have me punished in your little Inquisition here says a lot about how much vanity is valued over knowledge. Stewart Cowan (talk) 00:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I think the way to improve the article is to draft separate sections on each action, with reliable sources.

message: Can someone clarify - is clove oil ineffective as an antifungal?
Thank you

replies: text: This is a summary] of clinical conditions where clove oil was tested and mostly found to be ineffective. There have been no well-designed human studies showing clearly that clove oil has antifungal properties, a conclusion leading to why it is not discussed in the encyclopedia article on clove oil. Here is a reliable web resource discussing one of the most common fungal infections, candidiasis. Good luck. --Zefr (talk) 14:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

message: @ , I think this source is good enough for mentioning anti-acne use of Clove Oil? What do you say? Dympies (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that source is not a clinical journal and would not meet WP:MEDRS. Further, there is no reputable evidence that clove oil or any essential oil is a clinically- or government-approved antimicrobial agent. Zefr (talk) 18:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not asking to make exaggerating claims of its effectiveness in treating acne. A mere mention of its usage should not big a big deal. We should not contest the fact that it is used by some people to treat acne. Dympies (talk) 18:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
