Hi, liver doctor here.
There is no empirical evidence that cloves improve liver function or reduce symptoms of cirrhosis. In fact there is ZERO evidence in humans.
The studies which this person vaguely cites by pointing to a blog he wrote only mentions "narrative reviews" and rat or lab trials on eugenol, a component of cloves.
Eugenol is a bioactive compound which is not only found in cloves, but also cinnamon, bay leaf, basil and nutmeg (so the whole argument that cloves are good falls short).
Eugenol is used in perfumes and cosmetics AND in insecticides and fungicides.
Eugenol IS NOT A DRUG.
Cloves ARE NOT MEDICINE.
Eugenol is associated with liver toxicity and systemic side effects like kidney failure and seizures in overdose and prolonged exposure.

Please don't believe these not even baked (forget half-baked) "health advisors" on Twitter.

The biggest blunder of the low-carbohydrate movement has been their fairytale of type 2 diabetes pathophysiology. It's created an explosion of uninformed but well-meaning adults thinking that carbohydrates cause T2DM, rather than just being a nutrient that exacerbates signs.

Forget Detox – Touted Coffee Enema Benefits Are Not Science-backed. No, coffee enema benefits don’t include ‘detoxing’ your body–the only real reason to do a coffee enema is if you enjoy doing it for some reason.
