Daily Clove Chewing Ritual

 Description

Cloves are aromatic flower buds rich in eugenol, polyphenols, and antioxidants. In traditional medicine, they’ve been used to support digestion, oral health, inflammation control, and insulin sensitivity.

Chewing 1–2 cloves daily may help support blood sugar balance, reduce oxidative stress, and improve gut and oral health—but it is not a standalone treatment for diabetes.

 Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 1–2 whole dried cloves

  • Optional: warm water (after chewing)

 How to Use (Method)

  1. Take 1 clove in the morning after breakfast

  2. Chew slowly for 30–60 seconds

  3. Swallow or discard the fibrous part

  4. If using 2 cloves, take the second after dinner

👉 Always chew after meals, not on an empty stomach.
