Lavang/Clove

Scientific Name:
Syzygium aromaticum

Clove is highly valued for its aromatic flower buds, widely used as a spice in cooking and for their medicinal properties. Traditionally, cloves are utilized for their analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly in treating dental pain, digestive issues, and respiratory ailments. The clove tree supports ecosystems by attracting pollinators such as bees and contributing to biodiversity. Its evergreen nature and fragrant blossoms make it a valuable addition to agroforestry systems and spice gardens.
