Red Clover has a rich history as a cleansing
herbal tonic. The blossoms are traditionally used in springtime to promote
general health and to revitalize the spirit. Even still, Red Clover
has been used to help calm coughs, reduce skin inflammations, and improve
general health. This herb contains many of the essential B and
C vitamins.
Red
Clover grows in Europe and North America. The plant grows best where
soils are rich in calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. The flowering
tops are used medicinally. In Europe, Red Clover is widely cultivated
and used as a tonic and a salad herb. Red Clover is used by honey makers
to add a mild, sweet taste to their honey. Like
Alfalfa,
it serves as common fodder for domestic animals. Herbalists have long
prized this herb for its' traditional use as a blood purifier, expelling
toxins from the bloodstream. Primary chemical constituents of Red Clover
include phenolic glycosides (salicylic acid), essential oil (methyl
salicylate), sitosterol, genistiene, flavonoids, salicylates, coumarins,
cyanogenic glycosides, silica,
choline,
and
lecithin.
Red Clover also contains
Vitamin A,
Vitamin C,
B-complex,
calcium,
chromium,
iron, and
magnesium.
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have found anti-cancer
properties in this herb.

Red Clover is also one of the
most useful remedies for children with skin problems. Because it is mild,
it makes an excellent nutritional supplement for children. The expectorant
and anti-spasmodic action give this remedy a role in the treatment of coughs
and bronchitis, but especially in whooping cough, dry cough, and colds. Red
Clover also increases the production of mucus and urine flow helping relieve
irritation and inflammation of the urinary tract. As a
digestive
aid, Red Clover stimulates the production of digestive fluids and bile. It
also relieves constipation and helps soothe inflammation of the bowel, stomach,
and intestines. Red Clover contains easily absorbed calcium and magnesium,
which tones and relaxes the central nervous system, relieving tension due
to stress, and the associated headaches which are further relieved by the
silicic acid content. Clinical evidence shows that there is a basis for its'
long standing tradition in treating cancer. Its' anti-microbial properties
have been proven effective against tuberculosis. For women, Red Clover is
quite special, since it contains stilbene which stimulates eostrogenic activity,
thus increasing fertility, and reducing "hot flashes" experienced by women
during menopause. It also supports the uterus with its vitamin content and
the high protein content nourishing the whole body. There is also an alkalizing
effect which improves the vaginal and uterine acid/alkaline balance.
