The Natural Power of Cloves: Home Remedies for Better Health

Perfect for: Toothaches, gum pain, or sore throat.

How to Make It:

1. Fill a small glass jar with dried whole cloves.
2. Pour 70% alcohol (like vodka or rubbing alcohol) over them until fully submerged.
3. Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place for 2–4 weeks, shaking occasionally.
4. Strain and store in a dark dropper bottle.

How to Use:

• Apply 1–2 drops directly to the affected area (gums, tooth, or throat).
• Use no more than 2–3 times a day.

 Tip: Dilute with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) for sensitive gums.

Important Safety Tips

While cloves are safe in culinary amounts, medicinal use requires caution:

 Never apply undiluted clove oil directly to skin or gums — it can cause burns or irritation. Always dilute with a carrier oil or water.

 Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using cloves medicinally.

 Children under 2 should not use clove oil — it can cause serious side effects.

 People on blood thinners (like warfarin) should avoid large amounts — cloves have mild anticoagulant properties.

 Allergy test first: Apply a small amount of diluted clove oil to your inner arm — wait 24 hours to check for reaction.
