Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC)
ORAC is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods.
It was developed at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland.
Young Living organic therapeutic-grade essential oils have very high ORAC scores,
as noted in this list here: ORAC scores of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils
Clove is the champion of all with an ORAC score over 10 million!!
That means a drop of Clove essential oil contains 400 times more antioxidant
per unit volume than wolfberries, the most powerful of all known fruits.
Of course, the comparison isn’t quite fair since essential oils are concentrates while fresh fruits are not.
Nevertheless, a 15 ml bottle of Clove essential oil has the antioxidant capacity of 150 lbs
of carrots, 40 quarts of blueberries or 16 gallons of beet juice.
TWO DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL OF CLOVE

5 pounds of carrots
2.5 quarts of carrot juice
10 oranges
20 ounces of orange juice
2.5 pounds of beets

4 cups of raspberries
2.5 cups of blueberries
