A native of Europe and central Asia, it naturalized across North America so thoroughly that most people assume it has always been here — a testament to how well it fits into the landscape. In European folk medicine it was a blood purifier and skin herb. In 19th century American herbalism it became a cornerstone of alterative formulas. In modern phytomedicine it is one of the most studied herbs for overall wellness, owing to its rich isoflavone content. A humble meadow flower with a surprisingly deep resume.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur red clover is certified organic cut and sifted aerial parts — the leaves, stems, and flower heads of Trifolium pratense, carefully dried and cut to preserve their isoflavones, flavonoids, and volatile compounds. A finer, more versatile cut than whole tops — ideal for tincturing, blending, and encapsulating. Mildly sweet and pleasantly floral.
