Description

As a spice, clove confers significant nutritional benefits. According to nutrition data, one teaspoon of ground cloves contains 30% of the RDI of the mineral manganese, 4% of the RDI of vitamin K, 3% of the RDI of vitamin C, and trace amounts of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E. It is also a good source of fiber.

Vitamin C and eugenol are both antioxidants that can help slow the development of chronic disease. Manganese is important to bone health.

Many of the health benefits of clove oil are thought to result from its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.

Clove oil is perhaps best known as a remedy for toothache and dental pain. In a 2006 study of 73 adults, for instance, researchers found that clove-based gel was comparable to benzocaine (a local anesthetic) in its ability to ease pain resulting from injections in the mouth.1

The antibacterial properties of clove may help reduce oral bacteria that can lead to the development of plague, gingivitis, and cavities.

There is some evidence that clove may benefit people with diabetes or prediabetes. This is based on research that suggests that clove may help reduce blood sugar (glucose) before and after eating food.

According to the 2019 pilot study, significant reductions were found in the glucose levels of healthy volunteers who ingested a polyphenolic clove extract, building off of promising results in preclinical studies regarding the effect of clove on helping to regulate blood sugar.

Further research is needed to determine whether the same effect can be achieved in people with diabetes.

Although tea tree oil (an essential oil used in aromatherapy) is better known as a natural spot treatment for acne, clove oil is sometimes also used for pimples.

Cloves are low in calories but a rich source of manganese. They’re otherwise an insignificant source of nutrients.
Cloves are high in antioxidants, including eugenol, which can help reduce oxidative stress.
Test-tube studies show that the compounds in cloves may reduce cancer cell growth and promote cancer cell death. More research is needed to confirm these effects in humans.
Studies show that cloves may promote oral health, thanks to their antimicrobial properties, which may help kill harmful bacteria.
Some studies show that cloves and the compounds they contain may help reduce oxidative stress and protect the liver.
Test-tube and animal studies have shown that the compounds in cloves may help promote insulin production and lower blood sugar.
Animal studies show that clove extract and manganese may help increase bone mineral density. More research is needed to confirm these effects. Some animal studies show that clove extract and clove oil may increase the production of gastric mucus and help protect against stomach ulcers. More research in humans is needed.

Cloves have many potential health benefits, including keeping blood sugar in check and helping block the growth of bacteria.

As with many healthy foods, they’re most effective when included as part of a healthy and balanced diet. Try integrating a few servings of cloves per week into your meals.

You can easily incorporate ground cloves into many dishes. They’ll bring a warm, distinctive flavor to desserts, curries, or chutneys.

You can also simmer whole cloves in boiling water for 5–10 minutes to make a soothing cup of clove tea.

Cloves are delicious and may provide many important health benefits.
