Uses of clove tea
Cloves have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. However, modern studies have only really provided scientific evidence that cloves, especially when used in tea form, bring remarkable health benefits.
Rich in antioxidants:
Cloves contain eugenol - a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage, slows down the aging process and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. According to a study published in Biomolecules, eugenol acts as a "shield" to protect the body from free radicals.
Enhance digestion:
Cloves tea stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, reducing bloating and flatulence after meals, and is a natural alternative to anti-collision drugs.
Increase resistance:
With antibacterial and chong-viral properties, this tea helps the body fight colds, flu and seasonal infections.
Soothes the respiratory tract:
Cloves tea has the effect of clearing the nose, soothing sore throat, and reducing phlegm thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Good for teeth:
Cloves help fight bacteria, eliminate bad breath, and help reduce tooth pain and gingivitis.
Stabilize blood sugar:
Research in the journal BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies shows that people who use cloves extract for 30 days tend to reduce blood sugar after eating. This opens up the possibility of natural foods helping to regulate insulin.
Detoxify the liver:
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity magazine affirmed that eugenol in cloves supports liver function, helping to detoxify effectively.
bone protection:
The high manganese content in cloves helps increase bone density and maintain nerve function, especially useful for middle-aged and elderly people.
Support cancer prevention:
According to Molecules, eugenol has the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Cloves are a typical example of traditional health solutions that are being supported by modern science. Eugenol is not only anti-inflammatory but also contributes to preventing cancer, something that few people think of in a simple herbal tea, says Dr. Linda Grossman, nutritionist and natural medicine expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health (USA).
