Important Safety Tips
While cloves are safe in culinary amounts, medicinal use requires caution:
Never apply undiluted clove oil directly to skin or gums — it can cause burns or irritation. Always dilute with a carrier oil or water.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using cloves medicinally.
Children under 2 should not use clove oil — it can cause serious side effects.
People on blood thinners (like warfarin) should avoid large amounts — cloves have mild anticoagulant properties.
Allergy test first: Apply a small amount of diluted clove oil to your inner arm — wait 24 hours to check for reaction.

From easing toothaches to boosting digestion, fighting infections, and protecting your cells, cloves are a must-have in every wellness toolkit.
So next time you’re cooking, spicing your tea, or battling a cold —
Don’t underestimate that little brown bud.
Because sometimes, the most powerful medicine isn’t in a bottle.
It’s in your spice rack.
Embrace the power of cloves — and let nature heal you, one bud at a time.
