Clove Oil to soothe baby when teething

I have been searching for natural remedies to help my current 5 month old from teething. I bought the natural baby oralgel tablets, and they didn't work. I have heard about Hyland's teething tablets to be quite successful, but I haven't got around to pick those up yet.

There is a really cute baby store at the South Coast Collection district in Costa Mesa, CA; called Granola Babies. I love there philosophy there. The owner is so sweet, and they run a really great natural baby store. Anyway, they have quite a few different essential oils there. So I picked this one up,

Clove Oil

Blend 1 drop of clove oil with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or safflower oil. Massage into gums. Use it in moderation because excessive amounts can cause blistering.

So Far, I think the clove oil has been working well on baby P.

This book is awesome!! It gives wonderful advice about herbal medicine.
