Drawing from her experience, we reached out to an expert to understand whether the combination truly works. Dt. Vidhi Chawla, founder, Fisico Diet and Aesthetic Clinic, said that the delightful concoction isn’t just a flavourful beverage, it’s also a source of numerous health advantages.

The power of cinnamon, ginger, and clove

Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, an active compound that showcases antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, said Chawla, adding that ginger, known for its distinct spicy flavour, is rich in gingerol, a bioactive substance with anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, and digestive benefits. “Cloves, the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, contain eugenol, which possesses analgesic and antimicrobial properties,” she said.
