Melilotus officinalis, also known as sweet clover, is a perennial herb from the legume family, native to Europe and Western Asia, and commonly found in meadows and fields. It is a two-year plant, growing up to 1.5 meters tall, with yellow flowers on short stalks, arranged in clusters. The fruit is a pod, about 4 mm long and egg-shaped. The main medicinal parts are the flowers and aerial parts of the plant.

Sweet clover contains coumarin glycosides, bitter substances, tannins, mucilage, flavonoids, saponins, and essential oils. The main active ingredients are coumarins and their derivatives, which have an effect on the circulatory system. Coumarins are substances that, when taken in the correct dosage, promote normal blood flow and healthy blood vessels, but can be toxic if taken in excess, so it is important to follow the recommended dosage.

Sweet clover is mainly used for venous diseases, improving microcirculation, increasing blood vessel elasticity, and reducing their fragility. It helps to relieve the feeling of heavy legs, and is used to treat varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and a tendency to bruise. Sweet clover reduces blood clotting, which is used in the treatment and prevention of thrombosis and the resulting embolisms. It is also suitable for tea blends for coughs, asthma, and bronchitis. It is also said to have antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects. It can also help with migraines and headaches. It can be taken before bed as a hypnotic for insomnia. For external use, it is suitable for washing ulcers, leg ulcers, hemorrhoids, and inflammation of the eyelids.

Safety Precautions: It is not recommended to exceed the recommended dosage due to the presence of coumarin, and in cases of blood clotting disorders or when taking anticoagulants.

Thanks to clearly defined EU-approved health claims, its use is safe and scientifically supported, provided that the recommended dosage is followed.
