  • PLANT PROFILE: Red Clover

    I'll never forget the space Red Clover has held for me over the past few years. I've experienced heartache, loss & grief, all while trying to discover my life path.
    This plant spirit was there to pick me up, allowing me to grieve, go through what my heart needed to feel & most importantly inspire me to reach out for support; she gave me strength to hold space for my family and begin deep work on my soul; she pushed me forward and removed ingrained stories I had around vulnerability and receiving. 
    Red Clover is hands down the most impactful plant I've worked with to date and it genuinely makes my heart smile to share her magic with you! So here she is, and my only hope is that something in her offerings inspires you to work with her either through tea, tinctures, oils or food medicine.

    PLANT PROFILE: Red Clover
    So much LOVE for this motherly, heart warming & supportive plant spirit! She's healing to the heart chakra, root chakra, sacral womb, endocrine system & an amazing lymph tonic! She's great for releasing sorrow and toxins, creating space in the throat for open communication. She especially taps into relationship trauma with mothers.

    Abundant in antioxidant vitamins/ minerals, great for the common cold, drying the upper respiratory passages, reducing swollen glands & post nasal drip; relieving coughs and chest congestion.

    Red clover is a galactagogue, encouraging a plentiful supply of breast milk and supports the overall health of mother and child (if you’re nursing and interested please consult your dr. before consuming).

    She’s an antispasmodic, inhibits tumor growth, anti-cancer (best with breast, uterine, ovarian & lymphatic), menstrual regulator, uterine cyst & fibroid cleanser, increases fertility, eases painful periods, hormone tonic (balances and regulates) and skin cleanser (treats eczema, acne, rashes etc...)

    *CAUTION do not drink Red Clover if on blood thinning medication/have heavy bleeding; she is a natural blood thinner. 

    Preparation
    1 small handful of dried Red Clover flower tops in a 32oz mason jar
    Cover with boiling water
    Steep for 6-8hrs (I like to steep overnight, this length of time provides the full medicine extraction)
    Strain and enjoy!
    Red Clover is a nourishing herb, so you can drink her as much & as often as you'd like!
