I never thought much of cloves. To me, they were just another spice in the back of the cupboard. But one night, I stumbled on a post about clove water — and how it could help with sleep, digestion, and more. I was curious. I tried it for a week. Here’s what I noticed.

1. My stomach felt calmer

No more going to bed bloated or heavy. I felt lighter and less gassy after dinner.

2. Sleep came easier

There was something soothing about sipping warm clove water before bed. It helped me wind down and fall asleep faster.

3. Less morning stiffness

Surprisingly, I woke up with fewer aches. It might be the anti-inflammatory effect people talk about.

4. Fewer sugar cravings

I usually snack late at night — but during this week, I just didn’t feel the urge. Maybe my blood sugar was more stable?

5. My skin looked clearer

Could be coincidence, but my skin looked less dull, and a small breakout faded quicker than usual.

How I Made It

Boil 2 cups of water + 4–5 whole cloves. Simmer 15 minutes. Strain and sip warm (add honey if too strong).

Quick Note

Don’t overdo it. One cup at night is enough. Avoid if you’re pregnant, on blood thinners, or have gut sensitivities — and always check with a doctor first.

Final verdict?

Simple, easy, and surprisingly effective. I’m keeping this in my nightly routine — not as a miracle fix, but as a small way to care for myself.
