Taken internally, it promotes afflux of the stomach mucus, increases stomach secretion, stimulates the gastric nerves, increases peristalsis, absorbing nutrients, improving oxygen in the blood, increases white cell count, stimulates CNS, increases heart rate, inhibits bacteria.

Its essential oil can inhibit the growth of Candida Albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, and Penicillium expansum.

The MIC was used to evaluate the antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC 9642 and Aspergillus flavus ATCC 9643. Antifungal activity was evaluated for the essential oil and simultaneously for Amphotricin B. Results showed that Eugenia caryophyllata essential oil exhibited a significant activity against fungi, and its MIC on Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus were respectively 0.50, 0.125 and 0.25 µg ml-1 (ppm).[1]

sesquiterpenes of this herb can be potential anticarcinogenic agents.[2]

The essential oil of this herb can modulate the immune response by augmenting humoral immunity and decreasing cell mediated immunity. [3]

The ethanol induced hepatotoxic effect on white rats can be counteracted by clove (ding xiang) and cardamon feeding and the effect of clove is stronger. [4]

丁香揮發油對念珠球菌,黑曲霉, 黄霉的最小抑菌濃度分別為 0.50, 0.125 and 0.25 µg ml-1 (ppm).[1],對 擴展青霉的最小抑菌濃度為 2 0 %。

丁香的化學成份中的倍半萜可能是抗癌之藥劑。【2】

丁香揮發油能增強體液免疫反應,但會降低細胞免疫功能。【3】
