Slightly lowering blood sugar levels

 

The image claims that chewing cloves can “eliminate 10 years of diabetes,” but that’s not scientifically true or safe to rely on.

Let me clarify what’s actually supported by research 👇

✅ What’s true:

Cloves (known as qaranfel or قرنفل) do have potential health benefits — they’re rich in antioxidants and may help with:

• Slightly lowering blood sugar levels
• Reducing inflammation
• Supporting digestion
• Improving insulin sensitivity (in mild, early cases, as part of a healthy diet)

🚫 What’s false:

There is no medical or herbal remedy that can eliminate diabetes — especially type 1 or long-standing type 2 diabetes. Cloves can help support blood sugar control, but they don’t cure the condition. You should never stop prescribed medication based on such claims.

---

🌿 Safe Recipe to Use Cloves for Blood Sugar Support:

You can use cloves as part of a healthy routine:

Clove Tea

Ingredients:

• 4–5 whole cloves
• 1 cup hot water
• (Optional) ½ tsp cinnamon or a small piece of ginger

Instructions:

1. Boil the water.
2. Add cloves (and cinnamon or ginger if you like).
3. Let it steep for 5–10 minutes.
4. Strain and drink warm — once daily after a meal.

This may gently support metabolism and digestion.

---

2. Make the dough:

• Place a pan with hot water on the bottom rack (for steam).
