Red clover

Red clover

Red clover is an herb found in fields and meadows throughout Europe, where it dominates the landscape with its beautiful purple colored flowers. Red clover naturally contains phytoestrogens.

Red clover must not be confused with white clover or other types of clover, which are essentially best as cattle feed.

There is a tradition of using red clover to help women deal with the menopause and to make hot flashes, restlessness and irritability milder.

Brewing instructions:

• Use 1-2 tsp. red clover per cup of boiling water.
• Pulling time: 6-10 min.
• drink 1-3 cups daily.

Latin name: Trifolium pratense L.
