Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
With a long history of spasms closing off my esophageal-gastric junction (the opening to the stomach), including getting food stuck there which required physical removal by a doctor on more than one occasion, I discovered using Clove oil on my gums will immediately relax that muscle.
It works great for hiccups too, which if left unstopped, will spasm that muscle shut again.
So I carry Clove with me all the time and can now eat comfortably again. I've been using it for several years and so I use as many drops, applied on my fingertip to my gums, as I want.
It is a strong oil, so be careful. I first used it on the outside of my front teeth for fear of burning my mouth but that didn't happen.
I also use a drop or two in my tea if I feel tense in the tummy and sometimes smell a cotton ball with Clove oil on it.

CHE and CEO [caraway essential oil] at all doses tested were effective in reducing colon tissue lesions and colitis indices and the efficacy was nearly the same when different doses of plant fractions were administered p.o. or i.p..... These data suggest that caraway fractions are both effective and possess anti-colitic activity irrespective of the dose and route of administration." | Link |
