Carnation is not just a fragrant spice that adds spicy dishes. The dried buds of the tropical tree of the genus Sisigium are considered a true source of health benefits, especially for the digestive system and oral cavity.
Experts point out that carnation stimulates saliva secretion, as well as improves the muscular activity of the gastrointestinal tract, which makes it effective in combating digestive disorders. Spice also reduces inflammation in the oral cavity and eliminates odor due to a large amount of essential oils, vitamins and minerals.
Particular attention is paid to Eugenol - aromatic substance contained in carnation buds. It has anti -inflammatory properties and, according to some studies, is able to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, which makes carnation promising in the prevention of cancer.
For the general strengthening of the body and maintaining digestion, experts advise daily to chew up to two buds of carnation on an empty stomach. But it is worth remembering that this method is not recommended for people with high blood pressure, because the spice has the ability to increase pressure.
Thus, cloves are not only culinary spices, but also natural medicines that can improve well -being and strengthen health when used properly.
