Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) have a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, for a variety of health-related purposes, including general wellness and longevity. In traditional systems like Ayurveda, cloves are valued for their purported ability to invigorate the body, support digestive health, and act as a general tonic, which has led to their occasional use in the context of aging and age-related complaints. The rationale typically centers on their antioxidant properties and ability to promote vitality.

Modern scientific studies have identified that cloves are rich in eugenol and other phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant potential, which theoretically could help in combating oxidative stress—a major contributing factor to aging. However, while in vitro and some animal studies suggest that clove extracts can reduce oxidative damage, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence demonstrating anti-aging effects in humans or a direct impact on lifespan or age-related diseases. Therefore, while the traditional use of cloves for general wellness and possibly for aging prevention is documented, the scientific support specifically tying cloves to aging prevention in humans is limited and indirect.
