Your local pharmacy, or health food store
same as oil of cloves, i hope.

if i may ask,are you thinking of taking this for lyme?

i thought about this as a possibility for any unknown infections from the tick bite.

One active ingrdeint is eugenol, i believe.
One technical classification of eugenol is a mono terpene; its a very small molecule.

somewhere i read that terpenes kill spirochetes, but my research, done 2 yr. ago turned up nothing.

there are many terpenes of different sizes, and structures(linear, and ringformations).

Actually

embarrassingly I want to try it for a fever blister.

But I did a search on dogpile.com and alot of health & vitamin shops tout clove oil as a cure all. Antiviral antibiotic blah blah blah.

I'm on so much stuff now..... I feel like my body is going to freak.

I'm ordering clove oil on line. It wasn't in my grocery or health food store.

Heather

good luck. never heard of this for fever blister. Unless a health care professional of some sort prescribed it, I'd double check its use for this purpose. something doesn't seem right, but i really don't know.

James Duke's database on herbs would be a good start for a search on teh properties of clove oil.

Be very careful how you use it. It is very strong, and can burn. The following is a warning I got from this site http://www.naturesgift.com/essential/descriptionc-d.htm#CLOVE

"WARNING: Clove oil is a known dermal and mucous membrane irritant and sensitizer. It should not be used on the skin, or, if necessary, used in very weak dilution (less than 1%). It should not ever be applied to broken or irritated skin"
