Red clover

Red Clover contains isoflavones, which have a proven effect on female hormones and much has been written about Red Clover as an herb for fibroids and menopausal problems. More traditional uses of Red Clover include blood cleansing by detoxifying the blood and removing toxins—especially in connection with skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis and as an anti-catarrhal remedy for cough, bronchitis, and whooping cough. Red Clover has a mildly tonic effect on the nerves, which in turn eases indigestion, nausea, and headaches. Externally it has been applied as a salve or strong decoction for wounds, ulcers, and sores and is reported as a folk remedy for certain types of cancer. It is also used as an eye wash for conjunctivitis.

How to prepare:

1. Boil 2 cups of spring water with 1/2 to 1 full tablespoon of the blend in a stainless steel pot.

2. Turn the hob down to the lowest heat and simmer for 15 minutes and strain it to get a liquid result. Drink twice a day. The blend can be used 1-2 times after the first use so don't throw away the herbs after the first use.
