Cloves are also good for a lot of parasite symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, gas, diarrhea, dizziness, and low blood pressure. This makes clove an important ingredient in a parasite cleanse.
Fungicidal
Clove oil has been demonstrated to inhibit yeast and fungi growth in vitro, including against fluconazole-resistant strains of Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. (Citation: 1, 2, 3)
In other words, Clove kills the fungi and inhibits further growth of Candida albicans. This is why anyone who has suffered from Candida overgrowth may have been told to use this supplement. Taking clove orally can help to reduce candida in the digestive tract as well.
Antibacterial
Several key compounds within cloves have been demonstrated to provide significant antibacterial protection. Cloves have an effect against Gram-negative, anaerobic, periodontal oral pathogens. (Citation: 4)
Antiviral
Studies have demonstrated the ability of cloves to disrupt enzyme function of Hepatitis C virus and well as the capability to fight against the herpes simplex virus. (Citations: 5, 6)
Acaricidal
Eugenol found in clove oil has demonstrated significant potential for clinical trials to help fight against permethrin-resistant scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei). In vitro studies have shown eugenol and clove oil to be toxic to scabies. The levels demonstrated suggest that it is even more toxic than benzyl benzoate (a widely used topical acaricide for treating scabies).
Antiprotozoal
Clove essential oil and the eugenol found in it has been shown to have toxic effects against a wide variety of protozoa. Making the protozoa unable to replicate and sustain themselves, thus eliminating them. (citation: 7)
