Some people know about cloves as an ancient remedy for toothaches. This pungent herb works in this way because it contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic and effective painkiller that can also ease throat pain.
Chewing on a clove releases this eugenol and can numb the throat for a while. You may want to use water to rinse your mouth after the herb has done its job.
