Cloves have many medicinal virtues. 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.
Clove powder and oil are very effective in
treating fever, problems related to the
head, nausea, hypertension, disorders of
the nose, sore gums, toothache, earache,
chest pain, coughs, digestive problems,
diarrhoea, cholera, intestinal worms,
arthritis, backache, blisters, boils,
burns, sexual debility and morning
sickness in pregnancy.
