How to incorporate it into a healthy diet?

You can also use cloves as a spice in soups, stews, desserts, rice or hot drinks to provide flavor and aroma without having to add large amounts of salt or sugar.
Precautions
Consumed in common quantities as a spice or infusion, cloves are usually safe for most people. However, excessive consumption or use of clove essential oil can cause adverse effects and should not be done without professional supervision.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking blood-thinning medications, or suffering from a chronic illness, consult a health professional before consuming this infusion frequently. Natural remedies are not a substitute for medical treatments.
