Ilufoye Alice's post on Goodwall - The clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum) is the source of cloves, which are the dried flower buds used as a spice and for medicinal purposes. Benefits include acting as a natural painkiller for toothaches due to the anesthetic compound eugenol, providing antioxidant protection, and aiding digestion. Cloves also possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and are studied for their potential benefits in managing blood sugar and supporting liver health.
