Clove Information:
Clove is an evergreen tree, which produces a flower bud that has numerous medicinal properties. It is used for treating a variety of health disorders including toothaches, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress, and blood impurities. Clove was extensively used in the ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations and it spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, during the seventh and eight centuries. Clove is rich in minerals such as calcium, hydrochloric acid, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and vitamin A and C. Many people believe that clove oil is useful in preventing and treating cancer. However, the American Cancer Society states that there is no scientific evidence on the curative properties of clove oil. It is also claimed by many to be useful in treating viral hepatitis.
