He plays the role of a young Jewish man\u00a0who is mysteriously chased around and tortured by an ex-concentration camp dentist. During the torture scenes, the dentist\u00a0picks, pokes and prods at Dustin\u2019s teeth and gums and offers \u201coil of clove\u201d for relief only if Dustin reveals the secret by answering the question, &#8220;Is it safe?&#8221; Dustin is clueless as to why this is happening to him or what the secret is, so he&#8217;s helpless during the ordeal. The torture finally relents and Dustin lunges for the small \u201coil of clove\u201d bottle when it is offered to him.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t fully grasp the significance of this scene until I got involved with Young Living. Now I understand that clove oil\u2019s two principal constituents are eugenol (75-87%) and eugenol acetate (8-15%). Eugenol was used for years in the dental industry to numb gums.<\/p>\n<p>So anytime there is tooth or gum related discomfort, remember \u201cMarathon Man\u201d and lunge for clove oil.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I prefer the taste of Thieves Oil since cinnamon bark oil is one of the ingredients. But clove is biggest ingredient in Thieves, so there is still that influence.<\/p>\n<p>The use of Thieves Toothpaste, Thieves Mouthwash, Thieves Lozenges and Thieves Breathmints might\u00a0also be worth consideration. Of course, any\u00a0effect would be\u00a0much more subtle, but they fit\u00a0naturally into everyone\u2019s daily routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Whenever I accidentally bite my inner cheek, tongue, or lip, I immediately dilute 1 drop of clove essential oil with 5 drops of olive oil and rub on the affected area.
