Description
Dhouha Hamdi and co-authors test clove essential oil as a shield for brain-like cells against the damage seen in Parkinson's disease. Their 2025 study notes that oxidative stress, an overload of reactive oxygen, helps drive the disease. Clove oil, drawn from the flower buds of the clove plant, is rich in a compound called eugenol and is known for antioxidant power.
In a cell model, a toxin that mimics Parkinson's damage raised oxidative harm to DNA. Pretreating the cells with clove oil at several doses cut that damage. The oil also restored the activity of key antioxidant enzymes. The results support clove oil as a candidate protective agent.
