Red Clover Blossoms
Red clover is one of history’s most popular herbs. According to Dr. Jethro Kloss, “red clover is one of God’s greatest blessings to man. It is a wonderful blood purifier, and combined with other herbs it is a powerful remedy for cancerous growths, leprosy, and pellegra.” It is also soothing to the nerves, and due to its high nutritional content and it being a blood purifier, red clover is the base for many herbal remedies.
Red clover has also been used historically for its antispasmodic and expectorant properties. It helps to relieve the lungs of congestion and can soothe a sore throat. It is in many remedies for whopping cough, bronchitis, asthma, and other cough-related issues.
