This week, I would like to speak on the wonderful healing properties of Red Clover Blossoms. Bunnies and bees like them and so should we.
Red clover is one of history's most popular herbs. According to Dr. Jethro Kloss, "red clover is one of God's greatest blessings to man. It is a wonderful blood purifier, and combined with other herbs it is a powerful remedy for
cancerous growths, leprosy, and pellegra." It is also soothing to the nerves, and due to its high nutritional content and it being a blood purifier, red clover is the base for many herbal remedies.
Red clover has also been used for its antispasmodic and expectorant properties. It helps to relieve the lungs of congestion and can soothe a sore throat. It is in many remedies for whopping cough, bronchitis, asthma, and other cough-related issues.
As a tea, red clover blossoms have a mild pleasant taste and combined with other herbs it can be "fun" way to take your medicine. Red clover tea has been known to loosen phlegm and calm bronchial spasm. It is also used in tinctures, capsules and infusions. Medicinal properties of red clover include: depurative, detergent, alterative, mild stimulant.
Red clovers grow in meadows and blossom in the summer. You may gather them in the summer when in full bloom. Dry in the shade on papers, then when thoroughly dry, store in air tight containers.
Here at Herbs4You, we have several teas that contain red clover blossoms, so that you can enjoy the wonderful benefits of this remarkable herb.
