Clove

Health Benefits

Cloves are full of essential phytonutrient compounds making them a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin K, vitamin C calcium, magnesium and dietary fibre. Cloves have also been used in Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines systems for centuries, especially as a carminative for digestive ailments and dental problems. Eugenol, the primary component of the clove's volatile oil, is isolated as an anti-inflammatory substance, and is used in toothpastes, mouthwashes, root canal therapy, temporary fillings, and general gum problems.
