Red Clover flowers | Trifolium pratense | Organic
$10.00 – $15.00
*Our current Red Clover batch is from dried leaf, harvested organically.
Red clover has traditionally been used for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema where there is inflammation in the skin. More recently extracts higher in the isoflavones have been used for the relief of menopause symptoms as the isoflavones, especially genistein, bind to α and β oestrogen, receptor sites.
It has lovely red-purple flower and grows wild in New Zealand. It is used in our Detox tea as well as special preparations made for menopause or fertility. It is also useful for women who have had early menopause or a hysterectomy when drunk regularly. Red clover is also naturally high in minerals.
All of our teas are organic or wild harvested from natural surroundings. Enjoy!
