Eugenol: The Natural Antiseptic
Eugenol, the main compound in cloves, acts as a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. It helps to:
-
Gently dry out skin tags and warts
-
Soothe irritation and redness
-
-
Fight bacteria and viruses that may cause infection
Antifungal & Antiviral Benefits
Cloves naturally help combat fungi and viruses — two common culprits behind warts. Regular application may support your skin’s recovery and help prevent new growths from forming.
Drying & Healing Effect
When applied topically, clove oil or clove powder can gradually dry the tissue of a skin tag or wart, encouraging it to shrink and fall off naturally — no freezing or burning required.
