Red Clover: A Timeless Herbal Ally

Trifolium pratense, commonly known as red clover, is a member of the pea family (Fabaceae), recognized for its alternate, three-lobed leaves and vibrant, densely packed pink blossoms. Native to Europe, western Asia, and northwest Africa, red clover has since naturalized across the globe, often thriving in meadows and open fields. The blossoms are a delightful and nourishing addition to herbal tea blends and extracts.

The flower heads are carefully harvested during full bloom in the summer months to ensure their potency. Historically, red clover has been steeped in folklore. Druids believed it could ward off evil spells and witches, while in Medieval Christianity, its three-lobed leaves symbolized the Holy Trinity. Leaves with four lobes were seen as a representation of the cross.
