Making the world a healthier place
Red Clover
Red clover is a wild plant belonging to the legume family. Cattle and other animals graze on red clover. It has also been used medicinally to treat several conditions. Health care practitioners believe that red clover "purifies" the blood by acting as a diuretic (helping the body get rid of excess fluid) and expectorant (helping clear the lungs of mucus), improving circulation, and helping cleanse the liver.
What Is Red Clover?
Red clover is commonly found in pastures, lawns, roadsides, and meadows. It has recognizable flowers that can appear white, pink, or, most commonly, purple.
What Are the Benefits of Red Clover?
Red clover is traditionally valued as a powerful blood purifier, often used alone or alongside other purifying herbs like yellow dock, dandelion root, or sassafras. It's traditionally used to support the immune system, relax the body, ease spasms, and support respiratory health. Red clover has a long history of traditional use for coughs, bronchitis, whooping cough, psoriasis, rheumatism, and stomach discomfort.
