How can clove oil help with H. pylori, which is linked to ulcers and gastritis?
-Clove oil has been shown to inhibit H. pylori, which can improve conditions like peptic ulcers, gastritis, and other digestive issues.
What is an MAO inhibitor and how does clove's phytonutrient relate to it?
-An MAO inhibitor is a type of medication used as an antidepressant by inhibiting certain receptors, leading to an increase in neurotransmitters like noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine. The phytonutrient in clove acts as an MAO inhibitor.
What are the potential side effects of using clove oil and what precautions should be taken?
-Potential side effects of using clove oil include liver toxicity if overdosed, allergic reactions, and it's not recommended for pregnant or lactating individuals. The safe usage is below 2.4 mg per kilogram of body weight.
