Cloves

Has anyone here tried cloves (syzygium aromaticum) for bb? It has a long history of treating digestive problems, parasites, and as a breath freshener. I had some capsules on the shelf from a parasite cleanse. Thought I'd give it a try.
It's also an expectorant. Helps to clear the throat. I hacked something up this morning that smelled bad. It was stuck in my throat no doubt causing bb. It didn't smell as bad as tonsil stones, but had an unpleasant sweet odor, like indole or skatole. Smelling it gave me a headache. So it seems cloves are good for loosening mucus. I have a tendency to collect junk in my throat, so this might be a good treatment.
I also ordered some clove oil to use in a homemade mouthwash. It will dissolve in vodka and water.
