May reduce stomach ulcers

According to certain studies, the chemicals in cloves may be able to cure stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers sometimes referred to as peptic ulcers, are uncomfortable sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus. They are most frequently brought on by shrinkage of the stomach's protective lining, which can happen as a result of stress, infection, or genetics. Clove essential oil has been found in one animal investigation to stimulate the formation of gastrointestinal mucous.

Gastric mucus serves as a barrier and helps stop the stomach lining from being eroded by digestive acids. Another experiment on animals revealed that clove extract has anti-ulcer properties and was effective in treating stomach ulcers. Further research is required to determine the effects of cloves and their components on human ulcers, notwithstanding the possibility that these effects are anti-ulcer.
