Any product, be it clove powder or any natural product, until it has been properly researched by SCIENCE, can not be trusted. And once properly tested, it’s status changes from “quack remedy” to “medicine”.
@Tia_Thompson on the surface your kind suggestion appears to be act of wonderful charity and compassion. But you did not apply science to your suggestion to clove powder, you failed to mention that clove powder can cause permanent and large-scale damage to a person.
From Cloves: Health benefits and uses
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, multiple hazards are associated with clove oil. It may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation, or an allergic reaction on the skin. It is also flammable and could be fatal if it is swallowed and goes into the airway.
Another incident involved a 2-year-old child who drank 5 to 10 ml of clove oil. The child experienced multiple medical problems, including, liver damage, and problems with blood clotting.
I suggest you refrain from offering such unsupported suggestions because the outcome could be serious injury or death, and you would be held accountable in the eyes of the law and courts.
