Description
& Benefits:
The bud of this evergreen, indigenous to Southeast Asia, has a long history as
an effective agent for minor pains and aches, particularly dental pain because
of its numerous effects on oral tissues. It is widely used in contemporary
Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. The oil extracted from the dried buds is rich in
many volatile compounds that give the spice its strong aroma and flavor. Clove
is at the top of antioxidant food list with an ORAC value of 290,283 units, but
clove is a spice, to be used in small amounts to flavor food. It relieves
gastrointestinal problems and aids digestion. Its anesthetic action makes it a
favorite herbal remedy for all types of aches and pains.
