Red Clover has been used in America for over 100 years to treat and prevent cancer, and also as a sedative for whooping cough. In Europe, Red Clover has been used as a diuretic to treat gout, and also as an expectorant.
 

Because of its high content of several important nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, Red Clover has become a dependable nutritive supplement in all forms of degenerative disease. Antibiotic tests on Red Clover have shown it to possess activity against several bacteria, the most significant of which is the pathogen that causes tuberculosis.
 

Red clover has also been used effectively as a blood purifier, an antibiotic (used for tuberculosis and to fight other bacteria), a relaxant, and an appetite suppressant, with flower heads rich in vitamin C. Flower heads can be added to salads, just as they are.
