Although most spices are an excellent source of
antioxidants, cloves rank as the richest source of them all. The abundant
health benefits of cloves have been well known for centuries. Antioxidants
protect your cells against oxidative stress from free radical damage. Free
radicals are highly-reactive oxygen molecules in your cells, created as a
byproduct of your metabolism; a surplus of free radicals is considered to be
the primary cause of the aging process.
Protecting yourself against free radicals
with antioxidants is the most effective way to reduce the risk of many health
problems associated with aging. Antioxidants are known to provide powerful
protection against all types of degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart
disease, diabetes, arthritis, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, and
many more.
Antioxidants work together, synergistically,
and each one has its own specific characteristics and benefits. One antioxidant
may work in places in the body where another one can't go, and neutralize free radicals
that other antioxidants miss. Because of
this, it is very important to get the widest variety of antioxidants into your
system. In this case variety really is
the spice of life!
In addition to clove's benefit as an
antioxident, it also works quite well as a curative for a variety of
conditions. Cloves can effectively cure
many digestive problems like stomach ulcers, flatulence and dyspepsia, since
they stimulate your body's enzymes and boost digestion. Cloves are useful in relieving the symptoms of
indigestion and nausea, diarrhea, loose stools, gastric irritability and
vomiting.
Because of the antiseptic and germicidal benefits of cloves, Aromatherapists often use clove oil to treat the symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis. The aromatic clove oil, when inhaled, can help relieve certain respiratory conditions like coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis and sinusitis.

oil is also used to relieve pain from sore gums and improves overall dental
