Jamu 101: Clove Flower – The Skin-Reviving Spice of the Archipelago

Featured in JUARA’s Clove Flower & Turmeric Anti-Aging Serum

In the warm, spice-laced air of Indonesia’s Maluku Islands, clove flowers have been used for centuries in both health rituals and skin treatments. Revered in Jamu tradition for their warming, circulation-boosting properties, clove flowers are more than just a cooking spice — they’re a botanical powerhouse for skin vitality and renewal.

What Makes Clove Flower So Special?

The clove flower bud, not just the dried spice, is what gives JUARA’s Anti-Aging Serum its remarkable skin-reviving power. It’s a rare extract that:

  • Energizes the skin by stimulating microcirculation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the surface

  • Supports collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity

  • Defends against free radicals, thanks to its potent antioxidant content

  • Helps reduce puffiness, especially when skin feels tired or stressed

In Jamu, clove is used both topically and internally to support the body’s natural healing process, especially when it comes to inflammation or sluggish energy. It’s often paired with turmeric or ginger to enhance its warming effect — a classic example of Jamu’s intuitive layering of ingredients to boost efficacy.
