✔️ Improve circulation
Cloves help dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce cold hands and feet.
✔️ Reduce bloating and gas
They relax intestinal muscles and reduce fermentation in the gut, easing bloating after meals.

• dry or productive cough
• bronchitis
• sinusitis
• chest congestion
• lung inflammation
• throat irritation
• bacterial and viral respiratory infections
