Sweet Clover

Sweet clover contains coumarin and flavones, which increase blood coagulation time, move the blood, prevent bruises and help relieve pain from sprains, strains, and other external trauma. The herb is sometimes recommended for thrombophlebitis and varicose veins. It has been used externally as a poultice for sore breasts and as a wash to strengthen the eyes.
