I remember 2003 or such we had a real mossie-problem, you could not buy repellent anymore. We cut lemons and stuck cloves in and really the darn mosquitos died. Didn´t know about the health benefits, thank you!

I didn't know this either. Since you can't just eat a spoonful of cloves very well, I guess they needed to be added to other foods. Have a great rest of your weekend.

I would chew on a clove when I was trying to quit smoking.

Mom used cloves for an anti inflammatory. If we had a tooth ache we had a clove placed in our mouth.

Memory time. I can recall my mother putting sticks of cloves all over a ham before baking it. I had forgotten all about that. Have a great Sunday!!

What is wonderful about clove oil is that not only does it take away tooth pain but it fights the infection, which also heals the pain. Excellent stuff clove. Very, very important ingredient. Goes great in cakes, bakes and hot drinks too.

Yes , I just watched information on TV yesterday about carnations!

Ananka said...

Good to know. I take cinnamon, ginger and turmeric everyday and they have similar benefits too. Cinnamon is anti fungal too. :-D

Cloves are good for toothache being a good substitute for prescription drugs because it offers immediate comfort and encourages improved dental health. Of course it goes without saying it's always a good idea to see your dentist!

All the best Jan

Didn't they use oil of cloves to on baby's gums when teething. Not sure on this info but it popped into my head when reading this. Great info, thanks Christine!
