Dr. Christopher made this herb the base of his Red Clover Combination which is a must in any condition of cell deterioration to clean up the blood stream. It has been used historically as a poultice on tumors, gout and cancerous growths. The tea alone, used internally is a stimulant for the liver and gallbladder. In cases of acne, a 6 week course of 3 cups of red clover tea a day, alternated with two weeks of burdock root tea, will bring good results with even the most stubborn cases of acne. The red clover plant is in the alterative class of herbs.
