Method 1: Raw Chewing Method (Morning Ritual)
What You Need:
- 2 whole dried cloves (per day)
Steps:
- Choose whole, dried cloves that are unbroken and dark brown in color.
- Place two cloves in your mouth first thing in the morning, ideally on an empty stomach.
- Chew them slowly—let the juice release gradually.
- Swallow the chewed clove bits with a sip of warm water.
- Avoid eating or drinking anything else for at least 15–20 minutes afterward to let the compounds absorb fully.
Tips:
- The taste is strong and slightly numbing; if it’s too intense, try adding a drop of raw honey afterward.
- Stay consistent. Benefits build over time with regular use.
Method 2: Clove Tea Infusion (Gentle Daily Detox)
Ingredients:
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 cup hot water
- Optional: a slice of fresh ginger, lemon juice, or raw honey
Steps:
- Boil water and pour it over the cloves in a mug.
- Let the cloves steep for 10 minutes.
- Optionally add ginger, lemon, or honey.
- Sip warm, once a day, preferably in the morning or evening.
Benefits:
- Easier for those who dislike chewing raw cloves.
- Also supports hydration and gentle detox.
Precautions and Considerations
While cloves are generally safe for most people in small amounts, keep these things in mind:
- Don’t exceed 3-4 cloves per day. Too much eugenol may cause irritation or thin the blood excessively.
- If you are on blood thinners, diabetes medication, or preparing for surgery, consult your doctor before consuming cloves daily.
- For pregnant or breastfeeding women, moderate use (as a spice) is fine, but medicinal doses should be approved by a healthcare provider.
