I made this picture today. In the afternoon we had some rainfall, the weather calmed down in the evening so I could go for a walk.
Red clover grows in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Often used as grazing cattle feed. Today it also grows on agricultural land where it is cultivated on purpose as it improves the quality of the soil. Red clover heads are used for medical purposes. They are harvested in the summer when the plant begins to bloom and then dried for later use. More than 125 chemical compounds are found in red clover. The most important are flavonoids, isoflavones, coumarins, resins, phenolic acids (such as salicylic acid), essential oils, sitosterol, starch, and fatty acids. In addition, the plant contains many essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, chromium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, magnesium, and vitamin C. Red clover is traditionally used as an ointment to treat skin problems such as rashes, acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Due to its traditional use, the herb has become a popular ingredient in many commercial skincare products. Red clover has a reputation as a medicinal plant in relieving many of the symptoms of menopause. It was used to relieve heat rainfall and night sweats. Red clover is useful in treating cough and other symptoms of bronchitis. In the past, it has also been used to treat fever, asthma, and tuberculosis.

They grow wild in fields around here and appear in my garden often. I used to drink the red clover tea.
I see this clover in the fields. I also occasionally drink tea
We also have red clover here. Nice picture.
Thank you. I rarely see her in this color.
This red clover is tremendous. Somebody should test and see if this works against the coronavirus.
hahaha …. it really has many healing effects. It might also work on a virus 😊
Some of the details I didn’t know. I know this plant, but I have not seen it in red. Only in white.
We also have them in white and purple. I rarely see it in red.
I know the plant, and know that the flower is a nutritious plant!
That a great photos in great contrast! …and fresh!
Thank you so much. I rarely manage to make such pictures. After a long time, they were refreshed by the rain.
again you have brought information I did not know. thank you. I learned something about red clover, i did not know it was so widely used in Medicine!
Thank you. Many people do not know this because it is just “weed” for them.
what once was a weed, so many plants once were considered weeds are now considered crucial.
We don’t have them here, I look for plants that improve soil quality and plant them in my garden.
Also, I try to improve the soil in a natural way.
Thank you for sharing, We had red clovers in Latvia and I even had tea from them.
I also collect flowers for tea.
We have this tendency not to look around for something that looks like weeds. I may be having this around but have not noticed.
I became alert because I really like the flower.
So beautiful. I am not familiar with this one. So happy you shared.
Thank you. I’m glad you learned something new
Such a beautiful photo with the raindrops! It was great to learn more about the plant, thank you for the information!
Thank you very much. I rarely manage to take a picture with rain drops.
