Adding Cloves to Your Diet

To incorporate cloves into your diet, you can:

• Add ground or whole cloves to your cooking, particularly in meat dishes and desserts.
• Use clove oil in aromatherapy for its stress-relieving and medicinal properties.
• Prepare a soothing tea by steeping whole cloves in boiling water for a few minutes.

Caution

While cloves offer numerous health benefits, they should be used in moderation as the eugenol can cause liver damage in excessive amounts. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment with cloves, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are pregnant.

By understanding and utilizing the full spectrum of health benefits offered by cloves, you can enhance your diet and enjoy not only their flavor but also their impressive health benefits.
