Red Clover - Trifolium pratense
Blood cleanser and nutritive, positive effects on hormonal systems regulating pregnancy and lactation.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western folk medicine used this plant as a diuretic, a cough expectorant (an agent that promotes discharge of mucus from the respiratory passages), and for chronic conditions, particularly those afflicting the skin.

Red clover is known as an alterative agent—in other words, one that produces gradual beneficial changes in the body, usually by improving nutrition; also known as a “blood cleanser.” It is a traditional remedy for psoriasis and eczema. However, the mechanism of action and constituents responsible for red clover’s purported benefit in skin conditions are unknown

Modern research has focused on a red clover extract high in isoflavones as a possible treatment for symptoms associated with menopause and cardiovascular health in menopausal women.

Red clover supplements should be avoided by pregnant or breast-feeding women and their safety has not been established in young children and infants.
