Cloves are one of\u00a0the best foods we\u00a0can ingest for immune support, because they increase the amount of\u00a0white blood cells\u00a0in\u00a0the body, which help\u00a0us fight off infections. And that\u2019s all thanks to\u00a0the\u00a0vitamin\u00a0C\u00a0they contain.\n\n
\n
2. They improve digestion.\n\n

Cloves can be\u00a0used as\u00a0a\u00a0remedy for digestive issues, since they increase\u00a0the secretion of\u00a0digestive enzymes. They also reduce nausea. Not to\u00a0mention that cloves are\u00a0full of\u00a0fiber, which promotes digestive health and helps prevent constipation. The best way to treat digestive issues with cloves is to consume them in powder form or honey-roasted.\n\n
\n
3. They can relieve toothaches.\n\n

This spice also has local\u00a0anesthetic properties. If\u00a0you have a\u00a0toothache, place a\u00a0clove above the annoying tooth to\u00a0eliminate the discomfort until you can get to\u00a0the dentist.\n\n

The liver is\u00a0responsible for detoxifying our bodies and metabolizing the medicines we\u00a0take. The eugenol present in\u00a0clove oil\u00a0improves liver function.\n\n
\n
5. They help reduce pain and inflammation in\u00a0the body.\n\n

Eugenol\u00a0also gives cloves their\u00a0analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. One way to\u00a0take advantage of\u00a0this is\u00a0to\u00a0use this spice as\u00a0a\u00a0headache remedy. You can do\u00a0this in\u00a0one of\u00a02\u00a0ways: consume them or\u00a0use them topically. If\u00a0you prefer to\u00a0consume them, you can mix clove powder and rock salt with a\u00a0glass of\u00a0milk and drink it\u00a0to\u00a0relieve your headache. If\u00a0you want to\u00a0use it\u00a0topically, you can soak the cloves in\u00a0coconut oil and massage your temples to\u00a0get relief.\n\n

Cloves contain certain elements like flavonoids, manganese, and eugenol that promote bone and joint health. These substances\u00a0increase bone density, they are involved in\u00a0the creation of\u00a0bone tissue, and they transport healthy minerals to\u00a0our bones.\n\n

A\u00a0study conducted at\u00a0the\u00a0University of\u00a0Buenos Aires\u00a0put cloves to\u00a0the test against some serious bacteria, like\u00a0E. coli\u00a0and\u00a0staphylococcus. The research showed that clove oil was effective in\u00a0eliminating these bacteria. There\u2019s even a\u00a0recipe for an\u00a0herbal mouthwash made with tea tree oil, cloves, and basil. According to\u00a0the Department of\u00a0Periodontics at\u00a0the\u00a0KU\u00a0Leuven University in\u00a0Belgium, this natural mouthwash can improve gum health and reduce the amount of\u00a0bacteria and plaque in\u00a0the mouth after using it\u00a0for only 21\u00a0days.\n\n

Cloves are the number one and most potent dietary source of polyphenols. Polyphenols are micronutrients that we absorb when we eat plants. They have great benefits for our body: they lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve the function and flexibility of the arteries, and increase longevity.\n\n

Cloves are perfect for people with blood sugar problems, like diabetes, because they\u00a0act like insulin\u00a0inside the body. They help export the excess sugar from your blood into your cells, restoring the balance, and keeping your blood sugar in\u00a0check.\n\n
\n
10. They slow down blood clotting.\n\n

The eugenol found in\u00a0cloves is\u00a0known to\u00a0slow down blood clotting. Just keep in\u00a0mind that this can react badly with blood thinner medications. Consulting your doctor is\u00a0necessary before you begin to\u00a0incorporate more cloves into your diet.\n
Do\u00a0you use cloves in\u00a0your meals? Did you know about their health benefits?\n
