| A common flowering herb that has traditionally been used to treat coughs and skin problems. The recommended dosage is 1 to 3 cups of tea, twice daily. There are no contraindications. Used in various formulas around the turn of the century, red clover became known as a blood purifier, a cure for venereal diseases and whooping cough, and even as a cure for various forms of cancer. Whether or not red clover is helpful in these areas is unknown, but extensive research has not been done to confirm any of these popular claims. Estrogenic activity has been found in red clover, as it has in many similar species. Historically, red clover blossoms are thought to "move the lymphatics". This, in turn, should help to purify the blood and improve overall immune functions. |
