Cloves
Syzygium aromaticum

The clove tree is grown in many countries — Tanzania, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and in the West Indies — which is a good thing, since it takes five to seven THOUSAND of the little flower buds to make just one pound of dried cloves. Prized in Europe since its arrival in the 4th century A.D., clove has traditionally been recommended for digestion. Contemporary herbalists most often suggest cloves for this or to maintain good circulation.
