Cloves have many medicinal virtues. They are stimulant. They are useful in counteracting spasmodic disorders and in relieving flatulence. They help stimulate sluggish circulation and thereby promote digestion and metabolism .In the Indian system of medicine cloves are used in various conditions either in the form of powder or a decoction made of them. Clove oil applied outwardly, has stimulating effects on the skin, producing heat and redness.
The clove herb keeps food fresh because the main active component of cloves is eugenol, which has long been known to help kill bacteria and viruses" says Gary Elmer, Ph.D., associate professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy in Seattle.
By killing bacteria, eugenol helps keep meat fresh and prevents stomach upset, diarrhea, and wound infections.
