Avoid cloves if you have these health problems…

Are you taking blood thinning medication or do you suffer from a clotting disorder? Be very careful.
One of the lesser-known effects of cloves is their ability to thin the blood. This can be beneficial to the cardiovascular system in some cases, but it poses a serious risk if you are already taking blood thinners such as warfarin or aspirin. Cloves can amplify their effects and increase the risk of bleeding, manifesting as nosebleeds, easy bruising, or prolonged bleeding from wounds. In severe cases, internal bleeding can occur, requiring urgent medical attention. Anyone diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder should discuss the use of cloves or clove oil with their doctor.
