7 Practical Clove Tips Everyone Should Know

Steep 2 whole cloves in 200 ml of boiling water.
Let it steep for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Rinse your mouth with the infusion for 30–60 seconds, then spit it out.
Repeat once or twice a day at most, for a short period of time.

External feminine hygiene using steam
In some traditional practices, clove steam is used for external intimate well-being.

Place 3 or 4 whole cloves in 1 liter of very hot (not boiling) water in a heatproof bowl.
Let sit for 5 minutes, allowing the steam to cool.
Sit over the bowl, at least 40-50 cm away, for up to 5-10 minutes, until the steam has dissipated.
Caution:
For external use only. Do not ingest, do not sit directly on the bowl, and never use excessively hot steam. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. Not recommended during pregnancy without consulting a doctor.

Comforting Winter Drinks
Cloves add warmth and aroma to seasonal hot drinks.

Add 1 to 2 whole cloves to 250 ml of hot beverage (herbal tea, tea, hot lemon water).
Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the cloves before drinking.
It is recommended to limit yourself to one cup per day.

Caution: Clove essential oil should never be ingested. If you have digestive sensitivity, reduce the amount.

Infusion to relieve mild urinary discomfort
A delicate infusion can give a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Steep 1 or 2 whole cloves in 250 ml of hot (not boiling) water.
Let steep for 5–8 minutes, then remove the cloves.
Drink occasionally, preferably after meals.
Caution: This infusion is not a substitute for medical treatment. In case of persistent burns, infections, or kidney stones, consult a doctor. Not recommended for pregnant women without medical advice.

My 9-year-old daughter baked 300 Easter cookies for the homeless — the next morning, a stranger showed up at our door with a briefcase full of cash. My daughter, Ashley, has always had a heart too big for her chest. Since my wife died, we’ve barely been making ends meet. We spent everything we had trying to save her from cancer. But when Easter came this year, Ashley told me she’d been saving up her own money to buy ingredients. “For the homeless,” she said. Her mom used to be one of them. She was thrown out by her parents when they found out she was pregnant with Ashley. When I met her, she had nothing — but she had the brightest smile and the sharpest mind I had ever seen. I fell in love with her. I took her and Ashley in. And from that moment on, Ashley became my daughter in every way that matters. So when Ashley said she wanted to help people like her mom once was… I didn’t stop her. For three nights straight, after school and homework, she baked. Her little hands worked nonstop. She found her mom’s old cookie recipe. She rolled every piece of dough herself. She decorated every cookie. She made three hundred cookies. On Easter, she handed them out one by one. She looked people in the eyes. She wished them a Happy Easter. Some of them smiled. Some of them cried. I stood there thinking it was the proudest moment of my life. I thought that was the end of it. The next morning, I was washing a mountain of dishes when the doorbell rang. I opened the door. An older man stood there in a worn-out suit, holding a scratched aluminum briefcase. His eyes were locked on Ashley. Before I could ask anything, he set the case down and opened it. I froze. Stacks of hundred-dollar bills — more money than I had ever seen in my life. “I saw what your daughter did yesterday,” he said, his voice shaking. “I want to give all of this to her.” My heart skipped. Then he added: “But you have to agree to ONE CONDITION.” My chest tightened. “What condition?” I asked. He stepped closer. He lowered his voice. And what he asked for in return made my blood run cold.
