Clove

The best way to get eugenol into your diet is by incorporating whole or ground cloves into meals, such as curries, baked goods, and hot beverages like chai, as this provides a safe and effective, controlled intake. Other natural sources include cinnamon, basil, tulsi, and oregano. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Usage Examples for Dietary Eugenol: 

• Cloves: Add whole cloves to broths or curries and ground cloves to oatmeal, fruit salads, or baked goods. 
• Cinnamon: Use cinnamon sticks in tea or ground cinnamon in porridge. 
• Herbs: Incorporate fresh basil or oregano into salads and sauces. 
• Drinks: Chai tea with cinnamon and cloves is a great source (https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-cloves). [1, 4, 5, 6]  

Synonyms and Natural Sources of Eugenol:Eugenol is often referred to by the sources it is derived from rather than a direct synonym. Key sources include: 

• Clove Oil/Buds (highest concentration) 
•  
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) 
• Pimenta racemosa (Bay leaf/tree) [1, 2, 3, 7, 8]  

Safe Consumption Tips: 

• Moderation: Use culinary amounts rather than large quantities to avoid potential toxicity. 
• Avoid Pure Oil: Do not consume undiluted, highly concentrated essential oils (like pure clove oil) without professional guidance. 
• Whole is Better: Prefer using whole spices over extracts to ensure lower risk of overloading on the compound. [1, 5, 6, 9]
