Clove
Recently I read that City Council inspectors were advising home owners that were affected by the Brisbane floods, to use Clove oil to stop mould forming. He advised to keep away from chlorine bleaches to clean mould as it only 'bleaches' the colour out and does not kill the mould. "It'll be back in a few weeks," he said. "CLOVE OIL is the best!"
Clove has powerful antiseptic properties and should be used with care. Clove oil actually inhibits mould by attacking and killing the spores.
Cloves are definitely one of the most distinct herbs in most curries. In Ayurvedic medicine Cloves are used as an antiseptic, expectorant, aesthetic, working well on the kidneys, the spleen and the stomach.
Some make a combination of cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, and marjoram for a hot tea that helps bronchitis, asthma, coughs, a tendency to infection, tuberculosis, altitude sickness, nervous stomach, nausea, diarrhoea, flatulence, indigestion, dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, and depression. Sometimes people mix cloves with hot water, again making a tea and claim that it helps them get a good night’s sleep.
Cloves and ginger is a sure way to settle the stomach and stop vomiting. If you combine equal parts of cloves and basil it is supposed to detox meals from the body. Cloves have been used for failing eyesight and tooth problems. It was used for earaches very often throughout history as putting a little warmed oil of clove on a piece of cotton and in your ear was certain to rid any earache. Mostly, cloves are known for being warm and spicy but also have a strong relationship with pain relief, easing nausea and vomiting, and improving digestion. Cloves also kill intestinal parasites and act as an antimicrobial agent against fungi and bacteria. It has also been suggested that cloves have antihistamine properties as well.
All these great benefits from a little herb that looks like a nail.

Curing a Cold
Winter months bring with it colds and flu, both are a kapha-vata disorders. The body builds up excess cold and moisture (kapha qualities), resulting in congestion, runny nose, and excess vata, which reduces agni, leading to chills, loss of appetite, and poor digestion.
Remedy:
Try ginger. It’s the best remedy for colds. Drink ginger tea, or try a ginger steam treatment. Boil one teaspoon powdered ginger in a pint of water. Turn off the stove, put a towel over your head, and inhale the steam through your nostrils for about 5 minutes. This will relieve congestion and help you feel much better.
Echinacea Tea can be used to treat the common cold, influenza outbreaks and mild to moderate infections of all kinds. This is due to echinacea's actions in boosting the immune system.
Take vitamin C.
Use natural nose drops- Lubricates the nasal passages and relieve the irritation.
Drink hot water. Drinking hot water several times a day removes toxins from the system and speeds up your recovery time.
Avoid dairy products. Strictly avoid dairy products, including yoghurt, cheese, milk, and ice cream, until your congestion clears up.
Why Is Your Appetite Stronger in the Winter?
In response to cold weather, the body constricts the skin pores,therefore preventing heat loss, which directs the heat away from the peripheral tissues and into the body’s core, including the stomach. Agni (therefore,your appetite) becomes stronger in winter. However, if kapha or vata are provoked, agni plummets, leaving you more susceptible to colds, poor circulation, joint pains, and negative emotions.
