Here are some amazing secret uses of clove that no one told you about.

Forget those packed sandalwood and lavender room fresheners; prepare your own by mixing clove oil and water. Don't forget to shake the bottle well before every single use.

Clove oil is an easy remedy for puffy skin. Apply it twice a day and see the change. Ensure that you apply only a small quantity as it may burn your skin.
