Common Names
Clove is scientifically referred to as Eugenia Caryophyllata and Syzygium Aromaticum. It is not also known by other names except that of its botanical tag. It is basically a bacteria killing herb.
Origin
Clove has long been associated with human existence. It dates back 207 BC. In fact, Chinese historians trace back Clove as an essential herb that was used during the Han dynasty. It was said that the emperor never talked to visitors unless they have clove inside their mouth. It appears from the story that the emperor would not want to people with foul smelling breath.
The same Chinese history sources claimed that clove eventually was sold to visitors to keep the ruler from being annoyed and irritated by bad breath. It was formally made available in the market in the 4th century AD, not just as a breath freshener but also as an essential spice.
In the 17th century, expeditions were dispatched one after another in search of valuable
spices -
Scientifically though, cloves come from a plant genus known as Myrtaceae (Myrtle family).
