Red Clover is an alterative herb. This means that it alters the way the body reacts to stress - emotional, physical or environmental - helping the body and mind to stay calm.
Red Clover has been considered one of nature's best supplements!!
Red Clover is high in:
- Vitamin C
- B vitamins
- beta-carotene
- calcium
- magnesium
- zinc
- copper
- manganese
- selenium
Uses:
- clears lymphatic congestion
- skin issues: eczema, psoriasis, burns, blisters, dry lips, even skin cancer (effective when taken internally and used as a wash or lotion)
- lymphatic and blood cleansing
- respiratory problems (because it is gentle, it is especially good for children)
- Menopause
- PMS
Because red clover blossoms are rich in plant hormones (phytoestrogens), they are know to be helpful in reducing uncomfortable menopausal symptoms! Yippee!! :0)
A blend of red clover, sage and mother wort is a good blend for help with hot flashes and mood swings!

Red Clover Whipped Lotion
Yields 2 to 3 cups
- 1 cup fresh red clover blossoms
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 1 to 2 cups distilled water or rose water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons jojoba or sweet almond oil (optional)
Make a tiny batch of this lotion at a time, perhaps for special occasions when you want your
face to glow. It’s extremely rich and, depending on how much water you add, can be dense or
light as a cloud.
- Place the herbs and cocoa butter in a bowl.
- Without heating, use a spoon to mix the blossoms into the cocoa butter.
- Cover and store in a dark cabinet or pantry.
- Steep for two weeks.
- In the top of a double boiler, gently heat the cocoa butter just until you can strain out the blossoms.
- Discard them and pour the melted cocoa butter into a deep soup pot (this is to reduce splattering).
- Using a wire whisk or an electric hand mixer, slowly add the distilled water by the tablespoonful, whisking constantly, until you have the desired consistency.
- Add the oil if desired, and whisk together. Scrape the lotion into a small container.
This lotion lasts several weeks when refrigerated.”***
