Red Clover – Trifolium Pratence:
(cool, sweet, salty; enters liver, lung, heart, and blood)
Red Clover Trifolium Pratence is a blood purifier (and a mild blood mover, according to Chinese Medical terms). It is a very gentle herb and is great for long-term use or for weak, debilitated patients, such as children, elderly, or those recovering from a long illness.
Red Clover cleanses the blood and lymph, clears the skin, reduces fevers, and heals inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, eczema, and gout.
Red Clover is classified as an isoflavone. In modern research, there is evidence to suggest an anti-neoplastic action in animals and humans. Further research has shown positive effects on prostititis, as well as a recent article that indicates that red clover has a modest protective effect on cardiovascular disease.
