Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae and are commonly used as a spice, flavoring, or fragrance in consumer products, such as toothpaste, soaps, or cosmetics.
They have a sweet, somewhat penetrating flavor and are often used in cooking and baking.
Benefits of Cloves:
Soothes toothaches. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of clove have a mitigating effect on the swelling around an infected tooth and the associated pain
Stops bad breath. Being a natural antiseptic, cloves are considered very helpful in getting rid of bad breath and are a common ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwashes.
Improves digestion. Due to their carminative properties (prevent gas formation and relieve flatulence), cloves play a key role in preserving gastrointestinal health.
