Q&A

Q1: Can cloves cure diabetes?
➡️ No. Cloves cannot cure diabetes. They may support blood sugar control as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Q2: How long should I take clove tea?
➡️ You can drink it regularly, but it should complement — not replace — prescribed diabetes treatments.

Q3: Can I chew raw cloves instead of making tea?
➡️ Yes, but only 1–2 cloves daily is recommended. The taste is strong, and too many can irritate your mouth or stomach.

Q4: Are there side effects?
➡️ Large doses of cloves or clove oil may cause nausea, vomiting, or liver issues. Always use moderately.
