FAQ:
Q: Can I use ground cloves instead of whole cloves?
A: Whole cloves are preferred as they release their benefits more slowly and effectively. If using ground cloves, limit to 1/4 teaspoon and strain well.
Q: Is this safe for children?
A: Children over the age of 7 can consume a diluted version (half the clove amount), but always consult a pediatrician first.
Q: How long before I feel relief?
A: Many people report noticeable relief within 30 minutes to an hour, especially if the remedy is taken at the onset of symptoms.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Cloves are generally safe in moderation but may cause irritation or allergic reactions in rare cases. Avoid excessive consumption.
