OVERVIEW:
Red clover is a member of the legume family of plants and its round flower heads contain hundreds of nectar-filled buds. Dried red clover blossoms retain their color and pleasant mild sweetness. Their nutritional value and sweet flavor make them desirable for use in herbal tea blends and they are also added to soups, salads, herbal vinegar,
and baked goods.
Red clover contains an impressive array of vitamins and trace minerals with active chemical constituents that have immune-boosting and positive hormonal effects, especially for women. Traditionally, it has been used to balance hormones and to help in lowering menopausal symptoms. Red clover acts as a natural diuretic and among a multitude of other benefits, it is also used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
