That sentence is usually part of a misleading health claim. There is no proven medical condition for which chewing 2 cloves on an empty stomach can safely replace prescribed treatment.
Here’s what’s actually true, in a safe and accurate way:
-
Cloves contain compounds like eugenol that may have mild antibacterial or digestive benefits.
-
They can help with bad breath, minor tooth discomfort, or temporary bloating.
-
They do NOT cure diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, parasites, or eliminate the need for medications.
⚠️ Claims like
“Chew 2 cloves a day and you won’t need to take medicine anymore”
are not supported by science and can be harmful if they cause someone to stop real treatment.
If you saw this line on social media, it’s likely clickbait or folk medicine exaggerated into a cure-all.
