FAQ:
Q: Can I chew raw cloves directly?
A: Yes, but do it in moderation. Chewing 1–2 cloves daily is fine, but their strong oils can irritate the mouth if overused.
Q: What’s the common mistake to avoid?
A: Overconsumption. Many believe more cloves = more benefit. In reality, too much clove can irritate the stomach lining or interact with medications like blood thinners.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: In high doses, clove oil can be toxic. Stick to whole cloves and avoid concentrated clove oil unless advised by a doctor.
Q: Who should avoid cloves?
A: People with bleeding disorders or those on anticoagulants should consult a doctor before regular use, as cloves can thin the blood.
