What is the Kannada name for lavanga? - #12684
I recently moved to Karnataka, and I’ve been trying to buy some lavanga (cloves) for home remedies. But when I asked for it in a local shop, they didn’t seem to understand what I was looking for. I even tried saying "cloves" in English, but that didn’t help much either. So now I’m wondering, what is lavanga called in Kannada? I mainly use lavanga for digestion, cough relief, and tooth pain. My grandmother used to say that keeping a clove in your mouth can help with sore throat and cold, and I’ve tried it – works like magic! But I also heard that lavanga is used in Ayurveda for balancing digestion and improving metabolism. Is that true? If so, what’s the best way to take it? Also, do people in Karnataka use lavanga in any special way for home remedies or cooking? I see it in some dishes, but I’m curious if there are any traditional Karnataka recipes or Ayurvedic remedies using lavanga that I should try. If anyone from Karnataka or someone who knows Kannada well can tell me the correct local name for lavanga, that would be really helpful! Also, if there are any specific places where I can find good-quality lavanga here, please let me know.
