With is being a few days away from the BEST HOLIDAY EVER (St. Patrick's Day), I decided to do a little shout out to the clover. And I think I found out why the clover is so darn lucky................it regulates women hormones LOL Its not that the clover is lucky it is that people are lucky when a woman is supplementing with clover!!
Gentlemen, take note - there is a tea, lemonade, and body wrap recipe at the bottom (wink, wink)
Like always, I'm going to go over the benefits to get you thinking how you can add this gem into your life.
Ok now for the down and dirty, the clover is jam packed with: Calcium, Lecithin, Chromium, Magnesium, Potassium, Silicium, Vitamins A, E, C, B2 and B3. So what this means is those crazy Irish have strong backs, great night vision, health digestion, heal quickly, and great skin, hair and nails! man those Irish stick it to the rest of the world again and no one knows it LOL
JOKE BREAK - Why did God create alcohol? To keep the Irish from ruling the WORLD! just sayin :)
And now back to the regular program.
This good luck charm is often used as a detoxify of the lymphatic system (how our body gets rid of toxins), lungs, liver, kidneys and blood.
The lady issues it aides with all pertain to that great change of life (the sooner you start the less others with hate you) it reduces ganglionary inflammation which is the evil mastermind behind menopause and pre-menopause, hot flashes, depression, palpitations. But on an up note it helps to relax the muscles down stairs so no tense sex there!
I used to to be good about drinking my clover tea and after telling you guys about why its good for our sanity (ladies you get it) I should really start drinking it again!
How do we add it you ask, well let me give you a few ways to play with it.
Clover Tea Recipe (www.food.com)
Ingredients: 1 cup red clover blossoms
2 Tbsp mint
4 cups water
honey to sweeten
Directions:
1. When working with the blossom make sure that there are no bugs (you don't want the extra
protein this time)
2. Bring the water to boil.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add blossoms and mint
5. Steep for about 10 mins
Red Clover Lemonade (www.adventuressheart.com)
Ingredients: 3 cups red clover blossoms
4 cups water
1 1/4 cup lemon juice
4 Tbsp honey
Directions:
1. Boil blossoms and water for 5-7 mins
2. Strain and add lemon and honey
3. Stir and chill for 2 hours before serving
Detox Body Wrap (from my collection)
Ingredients: 5 tea bags of red clover
5 tea bags of marjoram
5 tea bags of dandelion root
Ace bandages (enough to wrap your body or the body part you are working with)
Crock-pot or sauce pan
Blanket
*why tea bags - they are quick and easy to use*
Directions:
1. You are going to want to heat water but careful you will burn yourself if too hot!!!!! You
want a temp of about 140 degrees
2. When water is warm enough steep your bags and let the bandages simmer for about a half
hour (which is why I like to use the crock-pot: on low for 30 mins)
3. Now this is going to be messy (you have been warned), wrap the soaked ace bandages
around your legs, arms, midsection
4. Last step is to wrap a blanket around you and relax for an hour
