Introduction
Cloves, a spice often found in kitchens around the world, have been used for centuries for their medicinal and culinary benefits. Recently, after a visit to my doctor, I was introduced to the incredible healing properties of chewing cloves regularly. I will be forever grateful to him for this simple yet effective recommendation. In this article, we’ll dive into the health benefits of cloves, how to incorporate them into your routine, and how to prepare them for maximum benefit.
Ingredients
Whole dried cloves (1-2 pieces)
Instructions
Take 1-2 whole dried cloves, depending on your preference and tolerance.
Place them in your mouth and begin gently chewing them.
Allow the natural oils from the cloves to be released as you chew.
Continue chewing for about 5-10 minutes, or until you start to feel the warmth and slight numbing sensation in your mouth.
After chewing, you may swallow the remaining particles or spit them out, depending on your preference.
Serving and Storage Tips
Cloves are best chewed fresh, so it’s advisable to buy whole cloves and store them in an airtight container to preserve their potency.
If you prefer to chew cloves in the morning, keep a small container with a few whole cloves beside your toothbrush to remind you.
Store your dried cloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. They can last for months when stored properly.
