Cloves: Safe for Daily Consumption For most people, 1–3 cloves per day (or about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of ground clove) is safe. This provides health benefits without causing adverse effects.
What Happens If You Consume Too Much Clove?
Digestive Issues – Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach irritation.
Liver Damage – High doses of eugenol can be toxic to the liver, especially in people with liver conditions.
Blood Thickening -- Because cloves are anticoagulants, they can make people who take blood thinners more likely to get a blood clot.
Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia) – Overconsumption can significantly lower blood sugar levels, which may be dangerous for diabetics.
Allergic Reactions – In rare cases, excessive intake may trigger allergic symptoms like skin rashes or breathing difficulties.
Mouth Irritation – Too much clove or clove oil can cause burning sensations or sores in the mouth.
If you accidentally consume too much, drinking water and consuming bland foods may help dilute the effects. However, if you experience severe symptoms, seek medical attention.
