Why cloves are called nature's protective spice.

Practical ways to use cloves to relieve symptoms:

Clove tea: Steep a few cloves in hot water; add a little honey to sweeten if desired.

Gargling: Lightly crush a clove or use diluted (very dilute!) essential oil in warm salt water to soothe your throat.

Steam inhalation: Add a few drops of clove oil to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale gently.

Chewing a whole clove: This releases eugenol directly into the mouth, quickly relieving irritation or pain.
