Eugenol is known for its antiseptic, anesthetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It's commonly used in dentistry for root canal treatments, as well as in cosmetics and food flavoring
Eugenol, also called clove oil, is an aromatic oil extracted from cloves that is used widely as a flavoring for foods and teas and as an herbal oil used topically to treat toothache and more rarely to be taken orally to treat gastrointestinal and respiratory complaints. Eugenol in therapeutic doses has not been implicated in causing serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury, but ingestions of high doses, as with an overdose, can cause severe liver injury.
