Caustic!!! That was the word that was escaping me....lol.

Once, because I LOVE the scent, I put straight Cinnamon essential oil
on my skin....thank the Goddess I was close to a faucet!!! It burned
sooooo bad. But I know if I brew up Cinnamon stick tea, that it
doesn't burn me at all.

Also, the amount of clove infusion that ends up in my mix is pretty
minimal, because limes/tea/etc are also in the brew. Between a bit
of the hot brew and the fresh lemon juice and eucy/tea tree/or
whatever oils, clove is usually the least concern I have w/ people.
Blessings,
Justine Willowhawk

: I was under the impression that an infusion of cloves was less
: caustic than clove essential oil, but I never knew for sure.
Thanks
: for clearing that up.
:
: I always use an infusion of whole cloves and so far no reactions to
: it (also knocking on wood). I give my number out to everyone I
henna
: so they know how to reach me if they do get a reaction.
