Red clover, red clover, let good health come over

We just finished one pound of dried Nettle that gratefully lasted an entire month (sad face, but also happy face). Thus, in search of another daily alterative (a herbal remedy that slowly rejuvenates the body's natural functioning and enhances overall well-being and vigor) that I already had on hand, I started drinking quart-sized Red Cover teas this entire week. It’s worth mentioning that I only had a vague understanding of the plant and all the amazing bennies it holds. My oversimplified impression was that it was a wonderful tonic for the female reproductive system, notably PCOS, but nothing more.

I was surprised to learn that this is the first line of defense for childhood eczema and other skin challenges faced by all such as psoriasis.¹

Upon further, research, I found out a few other beautiful things:

• 🪻As a nutrient-dense plant, it’s gentle enough to drink daily to receive regular doses of B vitamins, vitamins A and C, calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and other trace minerals

• 🌺It's really helpful for bronchitis or annoying coughs as it calms down spasms in airways

• ☀️It fights cancer in animals

• 🌱It's a wonderful herb to partner with in combatting hot flashes and menopausal symptoms due to its high isoflavone content

• 🩸It’s an excellent blood / lymph cleansing herb

• 🍓It tastes delicious and reminds me of strawberry jam without the sugars
