Medium Red Clover forms tap roots and is useful for remediation of compacted soils. Red clover is also good for weed suppression. Cancer - Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have found anti-tumor properties in clover. NCI researchers felt compelled to investigate the plant after their own Jonathan Hartwell, Ph.D., published a monograph in The Journal of Natural products in which he pointed out that 33 different cultures around the world use red clover to treat cancer. That amounts to a whole lot of people agreeing that the herb has anti-cancer action. And sure enough, NCI researchers emerged from their laboratories with confirmation that red clover contains four anti-tumor compounds, including daidzein and genistein.
