Introduction
After a decade of managing type 2 diabetes with medications and strict diets, I stumbled upon a natural remedy that changed everything: chewing cloves. It may sound simple—even unbelievable—but this age-old spice, known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, became a turning point in my wellness journey. While cloves aren’t a miracle cure, they can support blood sugar regulation when used as part of a balanced lifestyle. Here's the recipe and routine that helped me stabilize my blood sugar and feel better than I have in years.
Ingredients:
7–10 whole cloves (dried)
1 cup of filtered water
Optional: 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or ½ tsp cinnamon for added flavor and benefits
Preparation:
Soak the Cloves: Place the cloves in a small glass or ceramic bowl and cover with water. Let them soak overnight (8–12 hours). This softens the cloves and releases beneficial compounds into the water.
Morning Routine: First thing in the morning, chew 5–7 soaked cloves on an empty stomach. If you can handle the strong taste, chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Drink the Clove Water: After chewing, drink the leftover soaking water. You can add lemon juice or cinnamon for taste and additional blood-sugar-regulating effects.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Freshness: Prepare the soak daily to ensure freshness and potency.
Storage: If needed, store soaked cloves in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but discard them if they become slimy or smell off.
Consistency: Use daily for at least 30 days to evaluate effects. Monitor your blood sugar regularly and consult with a healthcare provider before making major changes.
