Cloves are more than just a flavorful spice; they offer several health benefits when used properly. They can support digestion, help manage blood sugar, and contribute to overall wellness.

**Boosts Metabolism & Digestion:** Cloves may “help stimulate metabolism,” though more research is needed. They have “traditionally been used to aid digestion by reducing bloating.”

**Blood Sugar Regulation:** Studies suggest cloves can “help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity,” though more evidence is required.

**How to Use Cloves:**
1. **Clove Drink (Morning Booster):** Boil cloves for 5 minutes, strain, and drink on an empty stomach. Add cinnamon or honey if desired.
2. **Clove Tea (Digestion Support):** Steep cloves, ginger, and lemon in warm water. Drink before bed for digestive relief.
3. **Add to Meals:** Sprinkle ground cloves on oatmeal, yogurt, or in soups for extra benefits.

**Expected Results:** Regular use may improve digestion and wellness in “2-4 weeks,” but cloves alone won’t cause weight loss.

**Conclusion:** Cloves offer potential digestive and metabolic benefits, but they work best alongside a healthy diet and exercise, “not as a quick-fix solution for weight loss.”
