Red clover (Trifolium pratense)
- Skin conditions as a tea with stinging nettler and yellow docl
- "Purification" properties used in addressing lung conditions and bronchitis
- Menopausal support (Unverified)
If you are going to use this, look over interactions with drugs and other conditions - I know it is hard to think that tea can interfere with pharmaceuticals, but if too much broccoli can negatively impact certain treatments, an herbal remedy can also. Red clover can increase chances of bleeding so do not pair with blood thinners for example.
Harvest when still wet with dew (I had no idea)
Tea: 1-3 tsp red clover, steep for 15 minutes
