Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) are highly aromatic flower buds with a warm, sweet, and slightly pungent flavor, prized for both culinary and medicinal uses. Rich in eugenol, a potent natural compound with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, cloves have been used for centuries to support digestion, soothe toothaches, freshen breath, and promote overall immune health.
In herbalism, cloves are valued for their ability to stimulate circulation, warm the body, and aid in digestive comfort. They can be used whole, ground into powder, or infused into oils, teas, and herbal remedies. In the kitchen, cloves add depth and spice to baked goods, savory dishes, chai blends, and mulled beverages.
