Red Clover - Our Guide to Harvesting Its Natural Benefits
May 29, 2026
Red Clover is a wild and special medicinal flower, commonly found on grasslands, meadows and verges in June and early July. Simple to pick and dry for herbal tea infusions, or to extract, helping to concentrate the plant’s active compounds.
Red clover is a nutrient-rich botanical, widely valued for its natural wellness benefits. It contains powerful isoflavones, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help support your lymphatic system and female hormonal balance, especially during menopause.
It's commonly used to help manage symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, while its antioxidant properties may support healthy ageing and protect cells from oxidative stress.
Below, we've detailed our simple recipe for extracting red clover to aid those entering, or going through the menopause.
Equipment:
Glass Jar
Ingredients:
Handful of red clover flowers
Vodka for extraction
Method:
1. Add the fresh flowers to the glass jar and cover with vodka (I try to make sure the liquid is dense with the flowers to give a high potency extraction). Shake the jar every couple of days to ensure the flowers are evenly extracted and covered.
2. Wait for 2 weeks, strain the liquid and pour into an amber tincture bottle. Add a few drops to your water or herbal tea 3 times a day.
