Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe for everyone?
Generally yes in small amounts (2–4 cloves/day). Avoid or check with your doctor if you:
- take blood thinners
- have upcoming surgery
- are pregnant/breastfeeding
- have acid reflux/GERD (start with the honey method)
Will my mouth go numb?
You’ll feel a pleasant warm/tingly sensation — that’s the eugenol working. Full numbness only happens with clove oil, not whole cloves.
What kind of cloves should I buy?
Whole, fragrant, organic if possible. They should look plump and oily, not dry/shriveled.
Can I chew them at night?
Yes — many do it after dinner for digestion and fresher morning breath.
