Red clover has metabolic diuretic (stimulates the removal of waste and water from the kidneys), lymphatic (stimulates lymph movement) and expectorant (supports elimination of mucus from the lungs) properties. Because of these characteristics, red clover has been described as a 'blood purifier' or 'alterative'. Red clover is also a rich source of nutrients, and phytoestrogens known as isoflavones (such as biochanin, formononetin, daidzein, and genistein).
