The 5 Benefits of Clove.
Clove is a dried flower bud native to Indonesia.
A tasty spice in our kitchens, it hides many other virtues, especially for better health!
Let's see 5 of its benefits that will allow you to improve your health naturally and at a lower cost.
1. Chew it, it's good for your teeth and gums
Cloves have antiseptic and local anesthetic properties.
Our ancestors chewed a few cloves in order to fight against bad breath but also to prevent dental infections.
Faced with dental pain and while waiting for your visit to the dentist, you can make yourself an infusion of cloves and perform mouthwashes with it.
Or, my favorite, use clove essential oil on a Cotton Swab and massage the sore tooth and gum tissue.
You can also drop a crushed clove on your tooth, but the very concentrated taste is not very pleasant.
After a slight tingling sensation, the pain should subside.
You can get cloves very easily. Either at the supermarket in the spices department (€ 2.57 for a 23 g bottle in Auchan) or on the internet.
2. In massage, it will relieve you of your muscular and rheumatic pains
You can try the pain relieving massage oil recipe or try the clove one.
Because the clove is an anti-inflammatory. It can also relieve your muscle, joint and rheumatic pain.
To do this, you add about 10 drops of essential clove oil to 30 cl of vegetable oil (jojoba or sweet almond). You massage the painful areas with this preparation three times a day. Pain should be relieved within 48 hours.
You will find clove essential oil in your organic store or here on the net.
3. In case of fatigue, it is a good stimulant for your body.
Clove is a well-known tonic. You will be advised in case of intense fatigue or physical and intellectual exhaustion.
To stimulate your immune system and your memory, put 1 drop of clove essential oil on a sugar. And you will take it twice a day, until the symptoms are relieved.
Warning ! This remedy should be avoided in pregnant women, to avoid any risk of contraction.
4. A urinary tract infection? It is an effective intestinal and urinary purifier
Cloves are not only antiseptic but also antibacterial. It is frequently used against urinary tract infections such as cystitis, kidney stones and upset stomach.
For example, to improve digestive upset, you can steep 3-8 cloves in a cup of hot water for 10 minutes. You can drink this infusion by adding honey and cinnamon to soothe the slightly strong taste of cloves.
5. It is also a formidable insect repellent
I could not fail to tell you about the amber apple. It has two very interesting effects. First of all, an amber apple is an orange (rarely another citrus fruit) in which we have stuck a bunch of cloves.
The orange will diffuse its citrus scent where you leave it. But above all, coupled with cloves, it will have the property of warding off insects. Especially flies and moths!
You will place your amber apple on your worktops, in your cupboards or you simply hang it after having wrapped it with a ribbon.
Good smell and repellent guaranteed!
