Clove

Clove, one of the most popular spices, is the dried upopened flower bud obtained from a handsome, middle-sized, evergreen tree. It is of great medicinal value as an antiseptic food. This property arises from the volatile oil contained in it. Its use in case of toothache reduces pain and also helps decrease infection. Clive oil, applied to the cavity in a decayed tooth, relives toothache.

Cloves are also effective in treating chlorea infection. About four grams of this spice should be boiled in three liters of water until half of the water has evaporated. This water, taken in draughts, will check severe symptoms of the disease.
