That tiny spice sitting in your kitchen could be a powerful healer—or a hidden danger if you don’t know these five critical mistakes with cloves; don’t miss this before your next cup of clove tea...Check 1st comment

While cloves can temporarily ease a toothache, they do not treat the underlying cause.

Relying on them for long-term relief without seeing a dentist can make a dental issue worse over time.

Cloves can mask pain, but they don’t stop infection. Use them as a temporary remedy, not a permanent fix.

Mistake #6: Misusing Clove Essential Oil

Clove essential oil is incredibly strong — one drop equals dozens of whole cloves. Applying it directly to skin or gums can cause burns.

It must be diluted in a carrier oil, and even then, only used sparingly. Drinking it is extremely dangerous and can lead to liver damage.

Clove oil is best reserved for aromatherapy or diluted topical use — never ingestion.
