It’s easy to start this habit:
Chew two whole cloves first thing in the morning.
Steep them in hot water for a soothing herbal tea.
Grind and add to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
However, remember that cloves have a strong flavor, so start small and see how your body reacts.
A Word of Caution
While cloves are generally safe in small amounts, consuming too much can lead to digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Those with bleeding disorders or taking blood thinners should consult a doctor before using cloves regularly, as they can affect blood clotting.
