Clove: Clove is commonly used as a fragrant or flavoring agent. There is a risk of blindness if it comes in contact with eyes. Clove oil (eugenol) has been used for its pain-relieving, local anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Animal studies suggest that intravenous clove may help lower fevers, but no reliable human studies are available.Avoid if allergic to clove, eugenol, or some licorice products or tobacco (clove cigarette) products. Use cautiously if allergic to Balsam of Peru. Avoid with a history of seizures, stroke, or liver damage. Use cautiously if taking medications that treat diabetes. Use cautiously with diabetes, low blood sugar levels, bleeding problems, or impotence. Stop use two weeks before and immediately after surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risks.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
