Red Clover, Red Clover<br />

Send Good Health Right Over<br />

By Shoshanna Easling<br />

RED CLOVER is one of history’s most<br />

popular herbs. Farmers plant it for a<br />

cover crop and mix it into <strong>the</strong>ir hay<br />

crops to increase <strong>the</strong> protein content of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir animal feed. Due to its high nutritional<br />

content, Red Clover is <strong>the</strong> base for<br />

many tinctures. Many health-conscious<br />

people add a little Red Clover to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

salads. If you pick your clover from your<br />

own property, make sure <strong>the</strong> dog and cat<br />

haven’t passed that way recently.<br />

Red Clover has also been widely used for its antispasmodic and<br />

expectorant properties. It helps to relieve <strong>the</strong> lungs of congestion<br />

and can soo<strong>the</strong> a sore throat. It is in many remedies for whopping<br />

cough, bronchitis, asthma, and numerous o<strong>the</strong>r cough-related issues.<br />

In a honey-sweetened tea, Red Clover flower has been known<br />

to loosen phlegm and calm bronchial spasm. It is also used in tinctures,<br />

capsules and infusions. While writing this article, I decided to<br />

put Red Clover to <strong>the</strong> test locally.<br />
