Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)


Red clover flowers (Trifolium pratense) are a traditional herbal remedy, particularly valued for women's health during menopause and for cardiovascular support. They contain phytoestrogens, which can mimic estrogen in the body, potentially alleviating menopausal symptoms. Beyond this, red clover is steeped in metaphysical beliefs, associated with love, prosperity, and protection.
