3. May Protect Against Cancer
Amazingly, there has been some research conducted which suggests that the compounds found within clove oil may actually help to protect the body against the development of some cancers. One study discovered that the clove extract within the oil was effective in stopping the further growth of tumors, even stopping cancer cells further by killing them off.
These test tube studies, as they’re known, often show that the best cancer-killing qualities are observed when clove oil is used in the most concentrated liquids. The eugenol within the oil is thought to aid the cancer-fighting process, but it must be stated that eugenol is, in fact, a toxic substance, no matter how beneficial it is, and so caution is advised to prevent overdosing or poisoning from occurring on the quest to find natural cancer treatments, as clove oil is suspected to be. Much more research is needed in this area before words like ‘cure’ can even enter the dialect.
