Red Clover is a gentle, nourishing herb traditionally used to support detoxification, hormone balance, and lymphatic health. While the blossoms are more commonly seen in herbal teas, the leafy herb carries many of the same beneficial compounds, with a slightly greener, more mineral-rich profile.
The aerial parts of Red Clover contain isoflavones, plant-based phytoestrogens that may support hormonal harmony in women, particularly during transitions like perimenopause or post-menopause. These compounds are believed to help modulate estrogen activity in the body, making red clover a go-to herb for easing symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability, or skin changes. The herb also offers mild diuretic and alterative (blood-cleansing) actions, gently supporting the body’s natural detoxification pathways via the liver and lymphatic system.
Red Clover herb is also rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, contributing to its traditional use as a restorative tonic. Its gentle support for the skin, lungs, and lymph makes it a valuable ally in long-term wellness protocols, especially for those experiencing chronic congestion or systemic inflammation.
The flavor of red clover herb is mild, green, and slightly sweet—less floral than the blossoms, but smooth and easy to blend with other herbal formulations.
