Summary

Let’s talk about the incredible health benefits of clove.

Clove is natural, and there is a lot of interesting research on using it to promote a healthy body. One of the most common ways to use clove is as a numbing agent for a toothache.

The essential oil in clove called eugenol produces many benefits. But it also contains a lot of other phytonutrients.

You can use clove oil or simply chew and swallow a piece of clove. You can also use clove oil topically on the scalp for fungus or pathogens. It may even help reduce the toxicity created as a byproduct of fungus.

Clove may help enhance the effects of an antibiotic, allowing you to use lower amounts of it.

Clove oil may also help inhibit H. pylori and improve peptic ulcers, gastritis, indigestion, gas, and bloating.

A certain phytonutrient in clove is an MAO inhibitor. MAO inhibitors are used as antidepressants. Clove even has anti-inflammatory effects, and data shows it has anticancer properties.

Clove is relatively safe, but consuming too much clove oil could create a toxic effect. You should avoid clove if you are allergic to it or are pregnant or lactating.

0:00.0	Now, I had no idea how amazing clove is for your body.
0:06.5	And so in this video, I'm going to share what would happen if you consumed or chewed on one clove every single day.
0:13.5	And when you chew it, you would want to just chew it up and then just swallow it.
0:16.8	But clove is amazing. I found over 130 different patents on clove with different applications.
0:25.4	Sometimes certain applications were for your body other times it was for like a natural fungicide for plants, but there's a lot of research on clove and it's natural.
0:35.6	One of the most popular ways that people use clove is as in like a numbing agent if you have a toothache because it has analgesic properties.
0:44.1	Now, when we talk about the benefits of clove, we're going to be talking about this essential oil in clove called eugenile.
0:52.2	So you can also get eugenile oil as well, but a lot of the benefits and the the aromatic smell and taste is from this oil.
1:00.7	And so this compound makes up like 75 to 80% of that oil.
1:05.6	And there's a lot of other federal nutrients in there as well.
1:08.1	One thing I like about using natural herbs or spices is that you get the whole package for nature.
1:14.2	It's not an isolated compound like they would use in drugs.
1:17.3	And by the way, over 50% of all drugs are derived from plant chemicals.
1:24.3	Usually they isolate them and then synthesize them so they can then patent them.
1:27.8	But there's some really fascinating properties of clove I'm going to share with you.
1:31.9	These properties are basically defense mechanisms that the plant has created over a long period of time to keep itself alive.
1:42.3	And what would you think would be the major attack on plants?
1:45.8	If you've mentioned microbes, you are correct.
1:48.8	So this is why clove has some pretty powerful antimicrobial properties, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-candida, antiparasitic.
2:00.3	So this is why it's very beneficial to have it in your mouth simply because so many people have an overgrowth of candida.
2:06.8	They might have bile films that turn into plaque.
