Habitat Abundant in Britain, throughout Europe, Central and Northern Asia from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle and high up into the mountains. Introduction Red Clover is a perennial, but of short duration, generally abundant on meadow land of a light sandy nature, where it produces abundant blossom, forming an excellent mowing crop. Not of great value as a bee plant - the bees not working it for so long as they will the white variety. Several stems 1 to 2 feet high, arising from the one root, slightly hairy; leaves ternate, leaflets ovate, entire, nearly smooth, ending in long point often lighter coloured in centre, flowers red to purple, fragrant, in dense terminal ovoid or globular heads. Medicnal Importance The benefits of red clover have most been attributed to alleviating a wide range of skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis. Traditionally, it was used as a cancer fighting agent, but, in this regard, there is scant scientific evidence. Other noted benefits of this herb include: alleviating bronchitis, and associated coughing; fighting colds, flus, and sore throats; mitigating liver problems; helping to relieve athritis pains; and improving digestion. Constituents Red clover is rich in the following nutrients, all of which have their own respective benefits: calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins C and A, and the B-complex. Side Effects None known. |
