Red Clover is beneficial to both people and the earth. It is good to plant on poor compacted soils as the roots will break up the soil and go down and fix nitrogen and bring up minerals from way down deep. It has long been known as a blood cleanser and a few days of drinking it will really make your skin glow! The skin is the largest organ and toxins will eliminate through the skin when the other channels are overloaded. Red clover is a great herb for both men and women, It is high in calcium so it can help keep bones strong and research now reveals that is estrogenic in nature so it can help with hot flashes and other uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. And for men it can help shrink an enlarged prostate. So lets make this one a daily drink!! It is fragrant and can taste very sweet. Not to mention its sheer beauty.Another reason red clover is so great is that it helps to alkalize the blood, and we hear about alkaline diet alot these days as disease tends to thrive in an acid environment, so keeping our system alkaline is one of the best things we can do for our health. From an energetic view point red clover is cooling so it can calm hot emotions such as anger and fear. Some other benefits are it lowers blood pressure and is an anti-cancer herb. Not bad really for a cute little pink flower!!
If you haven't had it yet please try some!! Hot or cold it is delicious!! The blossoms are the best part with just a bit of the leaf. It contains coumarins so should not be used by people who are on blood thinners as it can have the same action.And from the world of folklore it is thought that holding a red clover blossom can give you fairy sight, that is the ability to see and talk to fairies!!
