✅ Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding — consult a doctor first
✅ Avoid if you have bleeding disorders — cloves have mild blood-thinning properties
✅ Patch test before topical use — eugenol can irritate sensitive skin
✅ Use whole cloves — not clove oil, which is too concentrated for daily drinking
