Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano can be used individually for a variety of restorative opportunities.  By combining them, their shared attributes, provides a wider therapeutic spectrum.  Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano can simultaneously neutralize infections, alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress, and regulate the immune system.
 
Infections
Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano are highly effective against both stationary phase Borrelia burgdorferi and biofilms.  Additionally, a study using clove showed its effectiveness in eradicating Babesia and Theileria.  Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano not only address tick-borne infections, they can combat both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fight fungi and Candida albicans, break up biofilms, and eradicate viruses.  Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano can be effective against many food-borne pathogens that can inflame the gut, disrupt the intestinal barrier and contribute to systemic inflammation.
 
Immune Regulation
Systemic inflammation can be addressed with Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano.  They can inhibit NF-kB activation.  Cell-mediated and humoral-immunity can be increased.  Through inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced from whole blood phagocytes, systemic inflammation and oxidative stress are reduced.
 
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of ROS and intrinsic antioxidant defenses.  As free radical scavengers, Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano have each been shown to have antioxidant properties.  Elevated levels of ROS can result in cell damage, which may play a role in the onset of progression of many disorders including cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and diabetes.
 
Diabetes
Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano have a variety of anti-diabetes properties.  They may reduce post-prandial intestinal glucose absorption, stimulate glucose metabolism and stimulate insulin release.  Cinnamon was also shown to reduce blood pressure and lower levels of hemoglobin A1C.
 
Cancer
The anti-cancer effects of Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano are being studied, with varying results.  In vitro studies have shown that these ingredients can killing cancer cells by proliferation-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effects, indicating their potential for fighting multiple cancer lines.  Publications showing promise for specific cancers include lung, colorectal, esophageal and breast.
 
Excellent review articles on Cinnamon, Clove and Oregano are available for further study.
