Bad breath, also known as halitosis, affects a large part of the population and can negatively affect daily life.. Its causes vary widely, from dental problems to metabolic disorders. One of the main causes of bad breath is the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth, which, when they break down food residues, produce sulfur compounds responsible for bad breath.
To eliminate bad breath, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional who can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In addition to conventional treatments, there are natural remedies that can be helpful. One of these is cloves, known for their properties that can help improve breathing..
Clove is a spice derived from the dried buds of an evergreen tree, originating in Indonesia.. Its scientific name is Syzygium aromaticum, which derives from the Greek “syzygos”, meaning “combined” and the Latin “aromaticum”, referring to its aromatic qualities. Despite its common name, clove is not a metal object, but part of a plant used in cooking.
This spice is valued not only for its taste but also for its health benefits. According to Consumer Power, cloves contain vitamins A, C, D, E and K, as well as minerals such as calcium, manganese, magnesium and potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Its active compounds include tannin, mucilage, sitosterol, chromones, stigmaterol, resin, cellulose and olenolic acid, which give it antibacterial, analgesic, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic and stimulant properties. Its traditional uses include relieving cold and flu symptoms, treating sores and bad breath, and controlling blood sugar levels in diabetics.
