White Clovers (Trifolium repens) are found in nearly every part of the world and are often overlooked amid the beauty they offer our bodies, spirits, and the soil of the Earth.
Over the past nine or ten years, my Master Herbalism/Nutrition and Flower Essence Therapy diplomas, along with other studies, have opened pathways of remembering and returned me to ancient streams of wisdom. Along the way, there are certain beings who quietly enter the field of the heart and the eye and remain there. This sharing comes from one of those: the beautiful White Clover. She rose again into my awareness, and now holds a special place on our land at One Song Grove.
I have spent some time with these beauties lately, sitting with them on our land, feeling with them, and then foraging some here from One Song Grove. They are drying in my little herbal workshop and will be added to teas and other special blends.
And DANG, these beauties smell DELICIOUS.

Is White Clover Edible?
Every part of the White Clover plant is edible. You can consume the stems, leaves, flowers, and even the seeds. While it is safe to eat these parts raw (like the flowers, for example), cooking the stems, leaves, or seeds may aid in digestion.
If you go wild foraging for them in clean, safe, untreated areas, you can bring some home and add the flowers to salads for a touch of beauty. You can also dry the flowers and leaves to make a mild, nourishing tea.
What White Clover Does in the Body
- Respiratory support. They have been used to soothe coughs and support lung health, serving as a mild expectorant that may help clear mucus and ease breathing.
- Blood purification. They are great blood cleansers that support detoxification and lymphatic drainage.
- Anti-inflammatory and cooling. They have a cooling effect on the body, useful for reducing inflammation and heat-related conditions.
- Nervous system calming. Acts as a gentle nervine, calming the nervous system and reducing stress. Useful in teas for relaxation and emotional balance.
White Clover Contraindications to Be Aware Of
- Blood thinning. White Clover contains coumarins, which can thin the blood.
- Hormonal effects. It may have mild estrogenic effects (meaning it affects the endocrine system).
- Digestive sensitivity. This would only happen when large amounts are eaten, so everything in moderation.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A little about this magick-lover…
Since I was a kid, I've been head-over-heels for the magick of Earth, plants, animals, ancient wisdom and storytelling. The underworld of my own healing quest is where I found my own Divine Spirit waiting for me, Source flowing in my cells, plus 9 wild years of deep study in herbalism, nutrition, flower essence alchemy, Root Cause Protocol mineral work, and homeopathy.
That's the braid I share now as a Vibrational Medicine Guide, and I work with humans, plus dogs and cats. With my husband, Mark, we're building Forge and Flow on our land, One Song Grove, in Eastern Tennessee, held through Sacred Soul Health Ministry.
