Clove Chewing Benefits: A Complete Guide to This Powerful Spice

4.Helps Soothe the Throat

Many people chew cloves when they feel throat discomfort. The warm aroma and mild numbing effect of eugenol can bring a soothing sensation.

 

5.May Support Oral Comfort

Chewing cloves encourages saliva production and leaves a mild warming sensation that many find pleasant. In traditional use, cloves were also placed on gums for temporary relief from oral discomfort (not a replacement for dental care).

 

6.Helps Regulate Cravings

The strong, spicy taste of cloves can help reduce sugar cravings or the desire to snack, making them a small but useful tool in mindful eating routines.

 

How to Chew Cloves Correctly

Start with 1 clove per day

Chew it slowly until it softens, then you can swallow it if you wish.

After a few days, you may increase to 2 cloves.

Preferably:

after meals

or in the morning

Don’t chew more than 2 cloves per day

Because cloves contain essential oils that are very strong, moderation is important.
