That jar of cloves and bulb of garlic sitting in your kitchen do more than add flavor – they’re a time-tested wellness team. Garlic’s sulfur compounds act like microscopic bodyguards, protecting against harmful bacteria while supporting heart health. Cloves, with their sweet-spicy aroma, contain eugenol – nature’s answer to pain relief and antioxidant protection.
When used together, these spices create a perfect health harmony. Garlic stimulates your body’s defenses while cloves help regulate the inflammatory response. Try steeping them in hot water for an immune-boosting tea, or infuse them in olive oil to create a fragrant base for Mediterranean-style dishes. For topical use, a paste of crushed garlic and clove powder can help calm skin irritations when applied carefully.
