Herbal Uses of Cloves
- Nausea
- Clove acts as a natural anesthetic agent, numbing the stomach lining and preventing vomiting reflex [1]. It is also anti-inflammatory, soothing the stomach lining and relieving nausea [2]. Cloves help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract and combat diarrhea [3][4].
- Oral Hygiene
- Cloves have been used for centuries to improve oral hygiene [5]. Eugenol, a compound found in cloves, has anesthetic and antiseptic properties that can help fight cavities and bacteria associated with gum disease.
- Topical Anesthetic
- Clove oil can be used as a topical anesthetic because, as mentioned above, it contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic that numbs the skin. To use clove oil as a topical anesthetic, dilute it with a carrier oil and apply it to the affected area. The oil can be applied directly or mixed with a cream or ointment to enhance its efficacy. It should be used with caution, as undiluted clove oil can cause skin irritation and burning.
