Clove can act as a natural painkiller, especially for a toothache. Eugenol, the chemical found naturally in clove, can mimic the effects of lidocaine without any side effects. Clove doesn’t just work for toothaches. It may work systematically for many other inflammatory conditions.

Clove can be beneficial for arthritis, swelling, and joint pain. It mimics the effects of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen.

Cloves also have potent antimicrobial effects, even for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It’s also beneficial against fungi, viruses, Candida, and parasites like malaria. It’s been shown to mimic the effects of antibiotics without harming good bacteria.

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, producing results similar to a mild form of Metformin.

Here are a few more of the potential benefits of cloves:

•Cancer-fighting properties

•Detoxification of the liver

•Blood-thinning effects

•Boosts your mood

•Eliminates gas and bloating

•Higher ORAC scale (antioxidant scale) than blueberries

•Decreases mucus
