You can dilute 1 to 2 drops of clove essential oil in a teaspoon of olive oil and ingest it before a meal.

You can also dissolve 1-2 drops of clove essential oil on a sugar cube and melt it under the tongue before a meal.

Use this technique one to three times a day for up to a week to reap its benefits.
