Have you ever heard of clove water? I’ve seen several influencers and doctors talk about it over the years, so I decided to do a little more research on it.
Drinking hot clove water before bed has been reported by many people to help them sleep better. There are many powerful compounds in clove water, including eugenol, and the phytochemicals in cloves can have many useful benefits in your body including liver health, lower blood sugar, reducing bad bacteria in the gut and mouth (clove is an antimicrobial), and also sleep too.
It’s important to note that eugenol in clove has a blood thinning effect, so the normal cautions should be used for anyone that shouldn’t use blood thinners.
If you want to try hot clove water to deepen sleep, lower blood sugar overnight, improve liver health, and help get rid of bad gut bacteria that produce endotoxin in your gut, here’s how to make it…
Take 5 or 6 whole cloves and put in boiling water, turn down to simmer, add a lid, and simmer 5 minutes with lid on. The lid helps capture the eugenol that would otherwise vaporize, and drip back into the water. Let cool down for a few minutes to drinking temperature, and if you want even more benefits for sleep, add a spoonful of raw honey too.
Having a spoonful of honey with the warm clove water helps to lower cortisol so that it can have an even better effect on deep sleep. You can even add a spoonful of collagen protein too which is high in glycine that also helps you sleep deeper.
Enjoy your warm clove water with honey, and sleep well!
