foraging for lady herbs

last week the red clover was blossoming on our li'l ol' sideline, so emily, alnis, esker and I all went picking blossoms for red clover tea and tincture. the blossoms are still drying, and the tincture is still soaking, but wise herbalists have told us that red clover is a delicious way to improve circulation, strengthen bones in pre-menopausal women, relieve symptoms of pms, and improve breast health. I'm not sure we harvested enough, but I hope to drink the tea daily once the blossoms have fully dried and I'll post the effects I feel in the comments section of this post. Shout out to Nicole and Laura for your herbal wisdom:)
