Clove is commonly used as a flavouring agent in foods and drinks. It is also used as a fragrance in products such as toothpaste, cosmetics and soaps. When used as a food ingredient, it is unlikely to be harmful to our health.

Some of the known benefits of clove include: treating premature ejaculation when combined with other ingredients to produce penis gels. Clove is also believed to treat conditions such as tooth pain, “dry socket” after oral surgery, mouth or throat irritation, cough, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhoea, and other conditions.
