Cloves are wonderful herbs that contain many active elements and compounds, and despite the many benefits that cloves provide to all organs of the body, it is especially important for liver health, according to the results of a study published in the American Institutes of Health NCBI.
This study showed that cloves contain elements that help enhance liver function and protect it from inflammation and fibrosis, while also reducing the chances of developing fatty liver.
The effect of cloves on liver health is due to the fact that it contains a high percentage of powerful antioxidants, especially eugenol, which contributes to protecting the body from oxidative stress, and has great capabilities in treating infections.
These elements help improve liver function, reduce the risk of cirrhosis and fatty liver disease. Cloves also help reduce elevated liver enzymes, which leads to the expulsion of a greater amount of toxins out of the body and maintains the health of the liver.
In order to get the full benefits of cloves, you should avoid boiling it because this method spoils the cloves and does not keep it fresh, as well as the volatilization of the steam, which in turn contains the volatile oils that make up the nutritional value of the cloves.
Therefore, the best way to prepare clove tea is to boil water first, then pour it into the cup containing the cloves, then stir well. In order to get a great deal of the benefits of cloves, it is best to eat it on an empty stomach before eating breakfast.
Note: Despite these wonderful benefits that cloves provide to the liver, however, liver patients are prohibited from eating cloves, as it may worsen their health condition. Also, the use of cloves for children is not safe and may cause health problems for them, such as an imbalance of body fluids, and liver dysfunction.
Also, cloves should not be eaten or used in large quantities for all ages, and it is recommended to use small amounts of it daily, to be completely safe and be of great benefit.
