Make sure the cloves are very fresh, otherwise they might not have any medicinal value. If your cloves are not very fresh, then get some frsh ones. Be careful with the dosage of the wormwood, as it can be toxic if too large a dose is taken or if it is taken too long. After using it for a month, wait at least 4 months before using it again. You could also add raw garlic to make the cleans even more potent. Take the herbs just before you start eating each meal(except the garlic). Imo it is best to eat the raw garlic right after the meal though, as it can be irritating when eaten on an empty stomach. Eat just one clove(section) of the raw garlic at each meal and chew it well.
