While it doesn’t claim to replace medical treatment, this natural solution can be a useful addition to a comprehensive wellness routine.
A Healthier Mouth and Fresher Breath

Drinking clove water doesn’t replace brushing, of course, but it can be a smart addition to your daily routine. Bonus: some people also use it as a quick mouthwash!
