The dried flower heads of red clover are known to be expectorant, antispasmodic, alterative, and antitussive. These qualities make it useful for soothing coughs and chest congestion, where it will inhibit coughing, promote the flow of mucus, and act on the mucous membranes of the bronchioles to reduce coughing. The action is mild and the taste pleasant, making it especially useful for children's colds or coughs. Traditionally, it has been used as an aid in whooping cough.
Red clover is known as an herbal alterative in that it acts gradually to change metabolism and tissue function to restore the body's balance. Accordingly, it is a useful adjunct in any acute or chronic illness. Its high mineral content (as a legume), combined with its alterative properties, make red clover a particularly useful support in eczema and psoriasis. It is thought that deficiency of certain trace minerals in the body sets the stage for conditions such as psoriasis or eczema to occur. The same trace minerals may also aid in digestion, another factor thought to be important in the chronic skin conditions. Red clover has also been used as supportive treatment in cancer with evidence to suggest that it inhibits tumor growth.
Red clover is simple to use and has no apparent toxicity. There are no contraindications to its use other than allergies to clovers in general or to red clover, specifically. | | | | | | | |
