Blood sugar, cholesterol: interesting leads, but caution
Research also explores the effects of clove on blood sugar and cholesterol. Some animal studies suggest a positive effect on the regulation of blood sugar levels. Promising! But be careful: these results do not allow to conclude that the spice can prevent or treat anything. And for people on medical treatment, the opinion of the doctor remains essential before consuming it regularly.
How many nails a day, without exaggerating?
The ideal dose? Between 1 and 3 whole nails a day, no more. Eugenol can influence blood clotting and interact with certain drugs like anticoagulants. Essential oil is much more concentrated and must remain beyond the reach of children.
Caution should also be exercised for pregnant women and people with liver disease. In the kitchen, a few nails slipped into a dish are no problem. But for daily consumption, a quick exchange with your doctor or pharmacist remains the best idea.
Nature is full of small treasures, provided that they are respected with intelligence.
