Chewing cloves daily (just one clove per day) can offer numerous surprising health benefits, thanks to its powerful medicinal properties.
Cloves are small, dried flower buds from the clove tree, scientifically known as Syzygium aromaticum. Despite their tiny size, if you’re looking for natural ways to support your whole body, this simple habit would be a great addition to any daily routine.
Historically, in certain places, cloves were worth more than gold. Scientifically speaking, cloves are considered a “precious spice”. (Source) Consuming a clove or 2 a day may be a strategy to lessen our need for other encapsulated supplements, almost all of which have unnecessary, harmful additives I am looking to avoid.
Dr. Eric Berg summarizes the benefits of cloves (and why medicine now has a monopoly over natural food). 🧐 Watch to the end.

Could Cloves be an Alternative to Dental Anesthetics?
Many readers have been asking for an alternative to dental anesthetics, ALL of which which have found to contain toxic graphene oxide and nanotechnology, according to scientists around the world.
As Dr. Berg mentioned, Eugenol, an active compound found naturally in cloves, can mimic the effects of lidocaine without any side-effects. (source) Cloves work as a natural painkiller, especially for toothaches. (One friend wrote me: “I’ve done research on an alternative for injectable dental anesthetics and the only solution I know of that I’d be comfortable with is clove powder or clove essential oil. I heard a testimony of someone swishing with clove powder and numbing their mouth to the degree of being able to have teeth pulled. Years ago, I myself, used clove essential oil in place of the dental anesthetic to have a crown redone, and my dentist was pretty surprised it numbed the area so well. While this may be a good option for less invasive treatments like shallow fillings and even possibly crowns, I’m still unsure it could work with more extensive treatments like pulling teeth, deep cavities requiring lots of drilling/crown placement and implant placements.”) One would need to research for yourself, of course.
Another friend wrote: ‘I’ve been having trouble with a sore tooth. It’s been capped, and I think I may clench my teeth at night. Anyway, I put about 20 cloves in a 4-oz jar of distilled water, and set it by my bed. Whenever my tooth hurts at night, I swish a mouthful of clove water until it is numbed. Then I swallow the water. It’s worked for me for months now; the tooth has hurt less and less.”
Beyond that, chewing just one raw clove a day may enhance your wellness in various ways. You can purchase bulk raw cloves, use clove oil topically in a carrier, or one may find it easier to just add ground cloves to a smoothie or even water.
StatCare, the #1 Urgent Care in New York states, “Cloves can help lower your blood pressure and improve your overall cardiovascular health. Eugenol in cloves acts as a natural vasodilator, meaning it helps to relax and widen blood vessels thus increasing blood flow and reducing the strain on your heart.” (source) In this case, you can make clove water or tea and drink it before bed.
According to science, clove works even more wonders. They are:
• packed with antioxidants, long-lasting essential oils, and natural nutrients
• a natural immune booster rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, which helps fight infections, colds, and flu, oxidative stress and protect cells from damage
• rich in vitamin K, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), and riboflavin
• beneficial for arthritis, swelling, and joint pain
• mimic the effects of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (or Tylenol) without the harm to the liver
• mimic the effects of antibiotics without harming good bacteria due to its potent antimicrobial effects, even for antibiotic-resistant bacteria
• beneficial against fungi, viruses, Candida, and parasites like malaria and diseases like cholera, malaria, and tuberculosis (source)
• Clove oil can break down biofilms so your immune system can destroy bacteria. Eugenol in clove starves pathogens of energy, preventing them from reproducing
• Clove has also been shown to make insulin more sensitive (improve insulin function) and blood sugar stability similar to a mild form of Metformin
• Higher on the ORAC scale (antioxidant scale) than blueberries
• Clove’s high manganese content supports bone density especially beneficial as you age
Here are a few more of the known scientific benefits of Cloves:
• Cancer-fighting properties (source)
• Liver cleansing
• Mild balanced blood-thinning effects (clot preventing), but best avoided by people with bleeding disorders
• Boosts your mood
• Eliminates gas and bloating
• Decreases mucous and congestion
• Prevents bad breath
• Chewing stimulates digestive enzymes aiding digestion and reducing issues like bloating, gas, and constipation.
One single clove a day may be small, but it packs a powerful punch for your well-being. (This little article if for educational purposes only.)
