Red clover ideal cure

Look out for Trifolium pratense, says herbalist Sean McCarthy, the common but effective Red Clover.

SOMETIMES we spend time looking for exotic remedies or cures while we neglect the simple ones that grow in our gardens or country fields. Like red clover.

It can often be spotted in lawns, country pastures and on roadsides and this pink-headed flower brightens up any pasture, but also has a lot of medicinal value as well as agricultural uses.
