“The marvelous clove” is another phrase you’ll see in viral posts. Cloves are useful—but not a miracle cure. Here’s the real, balanced picture 👇
🌿 What Is Clove?
Clove is a spice from the dried flower buds of the clove tree. It contains a compound called eugenol, which gives it many of its properties.
