The claim that cloves can “remove all the cancer cells from your body” or prevent blindness is false and has no scientific evidence to support it. While cloves are a nutritious spice with beneficial plant compounds, they are not a cure for cancer and should never replace medical treatment.
What Makes Cloves Healthy?
Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree and contain several beneficial compounds, including:
- Eugenol, a natural antioxidant
- Manganese
- Fiber
- Vitamin K (small amounts)
- Polyphenols
These compounds have been studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
