Cloves contain a compound called eugenol, which has demonstrated strong antiparasitic effects. Eugenol interferes with the survival and reproduction of various parasites, including nematodes, protozoa, and intestinal worms.
When consumed, cloves release eugenol into the digestive system. This compound then works to disrupt the membrane integrity of parasites, impeding their ability to survive and reproduce. Ultimately, this can lead to the eradication of parasitic infections.
