Red clover's rosy blossoms are the meadow flowers that farmers valued for their soil and herbalists valued for the teapot. Long used in home practice as a gentle, nourishing herb, it is traditionally sipped over time for skin that erupts and won't settle — one of the old "blood cleansing" traditions — and it holds a beloved place in women's folk practice around the change of life, when hot flushes and shifting seasons call for a cooling, steadying cup. It makes a mild, slightly sweet tea that blends kindly with nearly everything. Everyday uses: • Mild, pleasant everyday tea • Cup traditionally sipped steadily for eruptive, unsettled skin • Traditional nourishing blends with nettle and oat straw • Cooling compress, a strong tea cloth for the skin • Bath soak, steeped and added to the tub How to use: Steep 1 tablespoon of blossoms in a cup of hot water, covered, 10–15 minutes, and strain. Its gentle flavor makes it an easy base for your own house blends. A gentle word, from our table to yours: The information on this page is shared for education and tradition — it describes how these plants have been used in home herbal practice over the years, and it is not medical advice. Herbs are real and active, and they are not right for every body or every season of life. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or caring for a health condition, please talk with your healthcare provider before adding an herb to your routine. Stop using any herb that doesn't agree with you. — The Benefactory Botanicals · Love • Lineage • Botanicals · Always created, never manufactured.
