Today, I want to introduce you to one of my favourite herbal allies. Clove bud is definitely in my top five or ten herbs in my herbal dispensary.
Clove is known for its aromatic and potent properties. It's incredibly spicy, warm, and pungent, making it a powerhouse when it comes to herbal medicine. One of its main actions is its strong antimicrobial effect. I personally use clove to target and eliminate unfriendly bugs in the digestive tract, from the stomach all the way down to the small and large bowels.
When it comes to using clove, I prefer the liquid form. But clove is incredibly potent. So it's important to start with a lower dose and gradually increase it based on your tolerance and symptom improvements. For example, I might begin with a 50 ml dose of a 1:2 clove tincture per month. Trust me, it's not a massive dose, but it can be highly effective.
Let's talk about the science behind clove. Its antimicrobial properties are primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria, which are often the culprits behind inflammatory and gut-related issues. Gram-negative bacteria can wreak havoc on your gut lining and dysregulated your immune system.
Clove is not only beneficial for bacterial imbalances but also for fungal infections. As part of an anti-fungal program, clove can work wonders. This is where the beauty of custom-formulated herbal medicine comes into play. It's tailored to your specific needs and can deliver fantastic results that you won't find in generic protocols.
Speaking of conditions like IBS, clove can be a valuable tool in improving symptoms and resolving the condition. Additionally, it's worth noting that clove has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can inhibit histamine release from mast cells, making it a good option for patients with histamine or mast cell-related issues.
When it comes to using clove, I typically recommend doses ranging from 50 ml to 100 ml per month of a 1:2 tincture. Going higher than that doesn't usually provide much additional benefit, and it's important to consider taste and compliance as well. - Věda a technologie
Thank you so much for this information. I have been binging on all things gut related the past few months to try and help myself with some major issues and find your content my favorite and easiest to digest.
Thanks so much. You made my day! 😊
Hi Todd, It’s really interesting to hear how clove works in so many ways and so quickly. It reminds me to keep taking my tinctures! Also loving your willingness to share your expertise on social media.
you're the best Helen! Keep up with your herbs! Looking forward to connecting soon :-)
Thank you! I chew one or two cloves regularly. I love it!
Thank you so much! This is such a great, informative video!
Thanks Ana, glad it was useful 😊
Clove was definitely a LIFESAVER for me when I was reallly ill (last summer) with gut dysbiosis and over-growth issues. It is, indeed, a POWERHOUSE herb!! I still use it and love it -- for maintenance. Thank you for this helpful video. ❤🥰🙏🌿
May I ask what form or brand of clove you took/take? I’ve been working so hard the past few months trying to fix my dysbiosis (and diarrhea) and think I need to give this a shot! Thank you!🙌
I am also curious - is it boiled as a tea or taken as an oil? Seems I can only find essential oils not sure they're for ingesting
Pls share the details like how many cloves a day and what form and what were your symptoms and what all it resolved for you
Thank you Todd for such informative videos. Could you tell the anti inflammatory herbs that you commonly use in your practice with patients with their recommended doses.
Thank you brother
You are so kind and generous with your information. I live in the US can you work with people in other countries?
See my reply above. Hope it is helpful to you. It is not my place to be putting another therapists contact information on Todd's video site. But I suspect you can get the information the same way I did, by contacting Todd's office through his site. And we hope that somehow he will be able to take on international patients in the near future!
Wish you took USA patients , you’re amazing!!
Thanks! So glad the content is helpful!
When I contacted Todd's office, through his site, they recommended a colleague of his in Australia, who is set up to work with international patients. I looked her up with great hope. I am so glad she exists and has good training and his recommendation. Maybe you would be heartened by looking her website up, also. :-)
Thank you for sharing this important information.
I have enterobacter cloacae complex AND klebsiella pneumonia AND protozoa (Blastocystis spp) AND SIBO off course,can clove made a difference in my case ? Is consuming large amount of clove save for liver and kidney?
Thank you 🎉
For someone with histamine issues are there any alternatives to Clove?
Would things like Thyme be good alternatives to achieve a similar effect?
Love your videos. So informative.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! Most of the aromatic herbs would be a good substitute (thyme, oregano, juniper, cinnamon, etc). Clove is a good place to start though!
GOD BLESS YOU ,THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
You are so welcome!
Hi there, very much enjoy your blogs and videos here. I'm in the united states and after having to treat myself for herbally for years I am again trying to find a holistically aware practitioner that can also order appropriate testing etc. Any recommendations?
I feel like I am stepping out of place, but I like to see people get connected with the help they're looking for. If you read comments above, I contacted Todd's office through his site. They referred me to a colleague of his that he recommends. You can go look up her website, and see for yourself if you would like to consult her. I know i would. And we hope Todd finds a way to work with international patients. The information he gives out, out of the goodness of his heart, really makes you want to work with him, doesn't it? (I don't feel it is for me to pass on the name of his colleague, out of respect for the work he is doing here online. But you could get it the same way I did, by contacting his office (check his website).
Hello, wish you was in lousiana with all that good knowledge. Whats the easiest way to fix this? Citrobacter freundii levels real high
Gamma haemolytic Streptococcus levels real high. Any info would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your videos and info. Much appreciated.
Does doing a clove protocol kill off good bacteria?
clove is strong but not as strong as some of the other herbs. I would be fine with my patients taking clove for 1-2 months no problem.
Teen son having many issues with digestion and food intolerance. Gastro says maybe IBD. We tried giving him mast cell stabilizer along with clove tea.
He did not like the clove in his hibiscus tea. What would you recommend? Please make video on what to use with difficult teens.
Excellent video thank you for making this. Do you ever see some of these gram negative bacteria causing people gastritis?
Sometimes. H pylori is gram negative and is one of the leading causes of gastritis
@@ByronHerbalist Do you ever have to work with people that have H pylori? If so have there been ways to overcome it without antibiotics?
Hi, can you do a video about herxheimer reactions? I took oil of oregano oil capsules two times a day for 14 days and became severely sick, flu like symptoms, chills, muscle aches and nodules in my throat. We tested for everything and finally came down to it being a herxheimer reaction from oil of oregano. I literally felt like death. But I am doing better now and so far it seems that the oil of oregano worked for the bacterial infection I had.
Yes! This is huge. I've just shot a video on candida die off symptoms and management. I'll have it up within a month or so. It can be a bit bumpy for some but I'm so glad you're on track!!
I got bacterial meningitis a few years ago and have had issues ever since. I’ve been trying everything I could but didn’t know about clove. I’m currently tapping the herbs you recommend for methane Sibo as I have those exact symptoms but maybe I should start with clove as they might be the root of my Sibo if I understood correctly? When I was in the hospital I did see E. coli on some of my results. I was pretty out of it during that time so I don’t remember what else was on the results
how are you feeling after using clove, I have E coli and i am trying everything and nothing yet I am about to try clove. please any update?
How about ground up cloves placed in capsules? Looki gto try with my 8yr old son with autism pandas and lots of sensory and GI problems he can not do any liquids at all
Todd, are there any herbs or combinations of herbs that could potentially kill chlamydia or gonorrhoea bacterial infection, or are pharmaceutical antibiotics the only option?
Thanks.
Sir i'm from 3rd world how many cloves can i start with i have i inflamatory bowel diseise caused by sibo so my question is how many cloves can i start with and how when can i increase the dose plz help
Hello thanks gor your videos do you have anybsuggestion for lyme and co infection herbs
What are the advantages of using a tincture versus clove powder?
what is the lowest dose to still be effective? I seems to be sensitive to certain phenols, still trying to figure out if there is a common link to the things I react to. but I know when I cut out all salicylate foods, my eczema pretty much disappeared.
Like, I have noticed I can pluck a leaf or two from my oregano, with no bad benefits, but, is that enough to have a benefit?
Thanks for the good info. My favorite channel on this topic.
thanks for the great feedback! With phenols and salicylate sensitivity I'd look into a past video outlining it first, get your detox channels open and then go after the overgrowths when you are more stable. Very low dose helps to ease into it even down to drop doses.
@@ByronHerbalist How do u open ur detox channels?:)
Does clove negatively impact beneficial flora as well? And considering how potent clove is, would this not be a good idea for someone with gastritis, even in tea form?
It’s worth trying to assess tolerance low and slow. No concern with beneficials with the whole herb
Great content :). Can one eat cloves instead of tincture? If so How many a day?
See if you can work back on the liquid doses at the end. It would be something ranging from 25-50 grams of cloves per month 👍
Hi Todd, I really love your videos :) Just wondering if you happen to follow Dr Jason Hawrelak's work? I've heard him favour pomegranate husk powder quite a bit as it's selective in killing bacteria. What do you think about it?
Absolutely! I have been mentoring directly under Dr Hawrelak since I started my degree. What an absolute trailblazer! Much of my work is strongly influenced by his approach.
Super informative ❤...dr ..is it kill h paylory 😵💫 thanks from kuwait
thanks! this herb can be effective against H pylori for some
Are cloves hard on the kidneys?
Does moraxella catharralis also apply ?
Sorry for typing
Hey Dr Byron, here in Portugal we don't have clove tincture :( can I consume it for tea would it have the same effect?
I have histamine problems can I take it?
Thanks for the great content 🙏
Thanks for the input. In my patients with histamine intolerance I would trial it low and slow and assess tolerance. I've got a mega histamine intolerance guide coming out shortly, just putting the finishing touches on it. I'm hoping it will really help guide people through the pitfalls of getting to the bottom of this difficult issue. Stay tuned!
It’s same with my daughter.. she has histamine intolerance and enteropathogenic E. coli bacteria in small intestinal at the same time.. can I use the fresh clove and boil it like tea? Or better I buy the essential oil and drop it to the water?(She is 4yo)
@@ByronHerbalist Dr Byron I found cloves in capsules, will it have the same effect as the oil? Thanks for sharing!
Why doesnt anyone address the bad breath that comes with methane sibo and how to work through that, constipation s all most focus on.
Yes this is big. Focus on BM and gut motility here!
@@ByronHerbalist Thx. But can you make video specifically focused on this? How to deal with the odor until things get better. It's a real struggle. Can you share how you've addressed it with your patients ?
I'm taking pamogranate peel as tea every day since you recommend it ,I'm sorry to report that it has zero effect on my gut health .
That's unfortunate. It must not be the right herb for you
3 weeks ago, I asked here what's the right herps for me, but you chose not to respond .Well,that's unfortunate.
You guys keep claiming that herps really helps but through my long journey with my unhealthy gut,no herp proves to be effective if not actually made things worse,every day I find more evidences shows that you guys are business owners not real doctors and you really dont care about sick people but care about how to get rich quickly selling your own products.
I don't expect much from you anyway,so don't worry about answering.
Why not step up to the powder in pill form or buy the extract. Both of these are so much stronger. If you listen to his videos, he likes to start people out low in case of bad reactions
Cystus incanus

So sorry you feel that way! I will never recommend herbs in a comment on youtube as I don't know your case, your history, what you've worked with etc. I put together these videos so they can help guide people that are either too far away or can't afford to work with me 1:1. I would strongly recommend working directly with a skilled herbalist if you have chronic digestive health issues. I hope you find the support you need!
@ByronHerbalist guide people!! Yaa I believe you.
Wow that’s a horrible thing to say. I would start out with a probiotic/prebiotic/stomach enzyme first to get the gut flora stabilized. It’s expensive but Amazon sells one bottle for $25. It changed my life. I couldn’t take anything before I started them.
Next time why not try something like “hey I left you a comment concerning a health issue and I didn’t hear back. Do you have any email or what is your protocol to reach you for health advice?” I’m sorry but you left a very rude comment.
@StephStruble I agree with your comments and I also know personally people that are very sick and haven't found help with allopathic/western medical doctors get frustrated and can lash out sometimes at people while looking for someone or something to save them from the hole they find themselves in. In addition I also like defending quality practitioners from others (bots biologic and ai)
