Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a wild plant native to Europe, Western Asia, and northwest Africa. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various ailments.
The plant was introduced to North America by European settlers, where it quickly became naturalized. Historically, red clover has been used to treat skin conditions, respiratory issues, and as a blood purifier.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known for its cooling properties and used to clear heat and toxins from the body. Red clover is rich in isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens, making it a popular herb for supporting women’s health, particularly during menopause.
