i have a few things to state

Post by wiccan_butterfly »

Cloves, what can you do with them, and what are they for?

can i also take some extra incense cones that i have and ground them and make powdered herbs? or oils or any such thing? this has been a question for quite some time.

Um, well the only thing I know is to stick 'em in an orange to make an old school air freshener (used in victorian times). It's a very nice thing to do, it makes everything smell all christmassy :)

I presume Hera typed into google medicinal and magical properties of Cloves - but I can't speak for her so I won't :D

I've only ever used Cloves to treat toothache and making incense at yule time.
The oils found in the buds are highly antseptic and are excellent for treating toothache - just pop a whole Clove over the sore gum/ tooth.
I use it for incense at yule because for me the smell is the epiphany of xmas - no pun intended.

Ground up old incense cones creates nothing more then incense powder.
you cant turn a cone into an herb no matter how hard you try.
