The Goodness of Clove for Your Gut Health
Essential oils are truly amazing when you learn about what they can do for you and how they can serve your body. There are so many different ones that can support your gut health, but today I want to focus on Clove Vitality! Clove Vitality is a powerhouse oil that can help regulate your bowel movements and work as an anti-fungal to remove parasites and candida.

Candida is a type of yeast that naturally resides in your gut. In moderation, it's harmless. But, when the balance is disrupted, Candida can overgrow, potentially leading to a range of health issues. Certain factors can cause the Candida to increase in levels in your gut; such as sugar and antibiotics. Candida loves sugar, so a diet rich in refined sugars and carbs can contribute to overgrowth; same with antibiotics! These can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, paving the way for Candida overgrowth.

Drinking tea has become one of my favorite ways to consume essential oils to support my body and gut health. Please be advised and review any warning labels before consuming essential oils. I only consume Young Living Essential Oils because they have been marked by the FDA as safe for consumption.


To make a tea with clove essential oil, add 1 to 2 drops in warm water and you can drink 1-3 times daily← some people find this too much, especially if you’re not used to drinking essential oils, and of course purity matters!-read your labels! A lot of them will tell you straight up not to consume them or put them on your skin, so don’t.


**Be sure to dilute the essential oil, as clove extract is actually quite a powerful substance. Clove oil also blends quite well with other essential oils so you could add in cinnamon and some lemon and honey and make it a yummy comfort tea!**

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
