Clove has a warming effect on the body. Freshly ground clove powder has antiparasitic properties, cleansing the digestive tract and the blood from various parasites, including the eggs produced by these parasites.

Another important use of clove is its insect-repellent scent, which provides effective protection against insects, especially during the summer period.

The use of clove in cooking is well known, as it is one of the most famous spices in the history of flavor.
