Red Clover — Trifolium pratense

With its soft pink-purple flower heads and sweet meadow fragrance, red clover is a familiar wildflower of British grasslands and an enduring favourite in the traditional herbal apothecary.

Rich in botanical history, red clover has featured in European folk herbalism for generations. Its blossoms contain naturally occurring isoflavones (plant compounds with a structure similar to oestrogen) and have traditionally been gathered for herbal preparations.
