Well, who among us doesn’t use cloves in the kitchen? Every self-respecting housewife actively uses these buds in twists, preparations, and marinades. Great spice and seasoning! I buy cloves in whole bags, not potato bags, of course, but still.  She makes me happy in another way too.

I want to share with you, friends, where you can use the buds of a tropical flower tree. Believe me, the result will pleasantly surprise you! Read carefully, I am sure this publication will be very useful to you.

Cloves as an alternative to all sorts of fancy hair care products.

In Soviet times, when there were only two shampoos on the shelves, one for children and another, it was very difficult to ensure that hair was silky, voluminous and soft. But my mother always had excellent hair.  The wonderful carnation buds helped her in this.

How did she make her homemade shampoo? I am sharing my mother’s recipe.

• So what do we need?  Just nothing: half a liter of water, clove buds, a dessert spoon, and peppercorns, no more than 10 pieces.
• We bring all this to a boil, let the solution simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Then we cover it and let it brew for half a day . That’s all, the decoction can be used.
• Apply it to freshly washed hair. Then we simply wash them. This procedure not only improves color and volume.  It prevents hair from becoming brittle and serves as a preventative against dandruff and flaking of the skin.

Clove “aromatherapy” for the entire apartment.

We just need to add 350 ml of water to a saucepan or other iron container and use a grater to extract the citrus zest. After that, add about a dozen clove buds and a small cinnamon stick. We simply simmer over low heat without a lid, waiting until the whole apartment is filled with the aromas of Asia and the East. Great natural flavor!

Cloves if you have a sore throat.

If you are worried about your throat becoming inflamed, then there is an excellent and reliable remedy. To do this we need to do the following:

• Just grind the clove buds to a fine fraction. For this we need no more than two inflorescences.  Next, simply mix the seasoning with honey, using a tablespoon.
• I assure you, this remedy perfectly fights inflammation of the throat. It has a very pleasant taste, bacteria are destroyed.  ENT doctors are unlikely to recommend this, but the folk remedy works with a bang.

Cloves are like your home dentist.

Are your gums inflamed? No problem! Just chew a clove! One inflorescence is enough. An excellent preventive measure. It also replaces chewing gum, that is, it freshens breath. Cloves are also beneficial for people who have thick blood. Cloves liquefy it perfectly.

Clove is my personal natural therapist.

I suffer from migraines very often. Sometimes it happens that headaches lie in wait for me in various unexpected places. What to do if the pain has crept up unnoticed, and there are no headache pills at hand?  Cloves will definitely help!

• You just need to chew one clove bud, and the headache will go away within 7-10 minutes.
• This remedy has only advantages: a package of cloves costs pennies, it has no side effects, and does not require drinking water at all. How do you like these advantages?  I think there are more than enough of them.

Excellent tonic drinks based on clove buds.

If you feel low and depressed at the end of the day, then there is nothing better than cheering up with an excellent drink made from clove buds.

It is done very simply:

• Pour a spoonful of tea into the teapot; you can use absolutely any tea. Season it with five spices.  Pour in hot water and let it brew. Ten minutes is enough.
• If you want to enhance the taste, you can add citrus notes . Can be used like fresh lime or lemon wedges. Use orange and grapefruit peels.
• You can add some mint leaves.  It gives the drink a relaxing, calming effect.
