The Right Way to Use Clove, and What to Avoid (Doctors Never Say THIS)

Clove sits at the top of a major ranking of polyphenol-rich foods, and its main compound, eugenol, numbed gums as well as a dental anesthetic gel in a randomized trial. But clove oil is a concentrated drug, and just 5 to 10 mL has been linked to liver failure in young children. In this video we cover what science actually shows about clove: how eugenol numbs pain, the "dietary cannabinoid" hiding in clove oil, the human evidence on blood sugar, why "highest antioxidant" is a misleading claim, and a safe daily amount in grams. We also cover who should be careful, including people on blood thinners or diabetes medicine. ⏱️ Chapters ⚠️ This video is for education only and is not medical advice. Speak with your doctor before using clove supplements or oil, especially if you take medication, are pregnant, or have a health condition. If a child swallows clove oil, contact poison control or emergency services immediately. 📚 Sources Pérez-Jiménez et al. 2010, Eur J Clin Nutr: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21045839 Alqareer & Alyahya 2006, J Dent: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16530911/ Janes et al. 2005, Eur J Pediatr: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15895251 Gertsch et al. 2008, PNAS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2449371/ Mohan et al. 2019, BMC Complement Altern Med: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6503551/ JECFA eugenol evaluation: https://inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jeceval/jec_841.htm LiverTox, Clove Oil: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK551727/ 🔔 Subscribe to Remedy's Nutrition for the science behind everyday foods, herbs and habits. #clove #cloves #naturalremedies ----------- ⚠️ Disclaimer: Content on Remedy's Nutrition is for general educational purposes only and is not a substitute for informed medical advice or treatment.
