As we age, bone density decreases, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Clove water contains manganese, a mineral essential for bone growth and strength. Regular consumption can therefore help maintain healthy bones and prevent certain degenerative diseases.
Antitumor potential under investigation
Several studies suggest that clove essential oil and extract may have antitumor properties, mainly due to eugenol, an aromatic compound with significant anti-inflammatory properties.
In research on the health benefits of green tea, eugenol has been observed to help eliminate tumor cells, particularly breast cancer. While these promising laboratory results are encouraging, they should be interpreted with caution, as the doses of eugenol used were exceptionally high.
It is important to note that excessive consumption of eugenol can be toxic to the liver, especially in children.
