Did you know that cloves were once worth more than gold?
Cloves are aromatic flower buds that possess a rich history. They have been used for centuries in both traditional medicine and cooking. They have potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties with virtually no side effects!
Drinking clove water every night before you go to bed can support respiratory health. It can help thin and expel mucus from the respiratory tract, soothe sore throats, and reduce inflammation in the airways. Plus, clove's antibacterial and antiviral properties may help combat the underlying causes of respiratory infections.
To make a warm, comforting mug of clove water, try steeping four to five cloves in hot water and drinking it with honey. Alternatively, simmer four or five cloves in a covered pot of water on medium-low for five minutes. After simmering, cover and cool for an hour and refrigerate for a chilled drink.
