The Power of Cloves
Cloves are a highly prized medicinal spice that have been
used for centuries in treating digestive and respiratory ailments. Cloves
contain good amounts of vitamins A, C, K, and B-complex as well as minerals
such as manganese, iron, selenium, potassium, and magnesium. They also contain
powerful antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties
making them tremendously useful in helping to heal a wide variety of illnesses
and health conditions. Cloves are particularly beneficial for the digestive
tract and are great for indigestion, gas, constipation, bloating, nausea, and
countering the effects of heavy, rich food. They are excellent for relieving
muscle spasms, headaches, and nerve pain. They are also often used to disinfect
gums, teeth, kidneys, liver, skin, and bronchi. Clove oil contains eugenol
which is a powerful anesthetic and natural pain reliever and is commonly used
to help relieve toothaches and to numb gums in dentistry. Clove oil is also
beneficial for the circulatory system and is a potent platelet inhibitor which
prevents blood clots. Clove oil is also excellent for athlete’s foot and for
healing cuts, bruises, burns, rashes, and psoriasis. Essential oil of Clove is
an effective decongestant and should be used in a vaporizer, humidifier, or
aromatherapy machine to help disinfect the air and to help benefit respiratory
conditions such as sinusitis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, asthma, colds &
coughs. Cloves are often combined with other herbs to create seasonings such as
Curry Powder and Garam Masala in India, Chinese Five Spice in China, and
Worcester Sauce in Great Britain.
They are also the ideal addition to deserts, fruit salads, smoothies, and
savory dishes alike. Clove tea is helpful for strengthening the immune system
and detoxifying the body. Steep 2 tsp of whole cloves in two cups of hot water
for at least 10 minutes, sweeten with honey if desired. Cloves can be found
whole or powdered in your local supermarket or health food store. Capsules,
extract, tincture, tea, and topical oils & creams can all be found online
or at your local health food store.
