Clove oil for brain health
A cell-based model explored clove EO’s potential to help protect brain cells from damage linked to Parkinson’s disease. Because Parkinson’s is strongly connected to oxidative stress—an imbalance of harmful free radicals to antioxidants—researchers tested clove EO in lab-grown nerve cells commonly used to study the disease. Clove EO significantly reduced oxidative DNA damage and helped restore the cells’ own protective antioxidant systems. These findings suggest that clove EO may support brain health by strengthening natural defenses against oxidative stress, a key driver of neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease.
