The listing, Yellow Clover Seeds 50+ has ended.
Winner gets at least 50 of these wonderful gardening friends. They draw beneficial insects, add nutrients to soil, are edible and medicinal. I plant them with everything. They act as living mulch and are great companion plants. The amount of seeds shipped elevates with the bid. I have crimson clover also and will add some of that if the winner wants it.
Medicinal Uses:
Clover can help treat swollen and twisted veins and haemorrhoids though it requires a long-term treatment for the effect to be realised. Use of the plant also helps to reduce the risk of phlebitis and thrombosis. Clover contains coumarins and, as the plant dries or spoils, these become converted to dicoumarol, a powerful anticoagulant.
The flowering plant is antispasmodic, aromatic, and has agents that relieves and removes gas from the digestive system, that induces urination, that softens and soothes the skin when applied locally, and agents that induces the removal (coughing up) of mucous secretions from the lungs. It is mildly sedative and has agents that help in healing wounds, fresh cuts, etc., usually when used as a poultice. A tea has been used in the treatment of sleeplessness, nervous tension, neuralgia, palpitations, swollen and twisted veins, painful congestive menstruation, in the prevention of thrombosis, flatulence and intestinal disorders. Externally, it is used to treat eye inflammations, rheumatic pains, swollen joints, severe bruising, boils and erysipelas, whilst a decoction is added to the bath-water. The flowering plant is harvested in the summer and can be dried for later use. A distilled water obtained from the flowering tops is an effective treatment for conjunctivitis.
