A dietary supplement of natural plant estrogens for women experiencing midlife changes
Traditionally, the blossoms from this plant were used as a tonic in the spring to promote good health and peace of mind. It contains small amounts of silica, choline, calcium, and lecithin, all essential for normal body function. It works as a muscle relaxer and also is a good expectorant. It is an old-time remedy for skin inflammation and eczema. Combined with other herbs Red Clover has been used to treat cancers and tumors. It is interesting that some cultures do not suffer in ways other cultures do in regards to health problems. In particular Mediterranean women generally breeze through menopause, whereas Western women suffer from hot flashes, depression, insomnia, and other unpleasant symptoms. Research has found that a whole range of disease conditions were related to differences in diet.
Red Clover contains isoflavones formononetin and biochanin. These substances are believed to help in an array of health conditions. There are many benefits, for instance men who eat isoflavone rich foods have lower rates of prostate cancer, and also lower rates of prostate enlargement that can lead to urinary problems as men age.
Red Clover may also help lower cholesterol levels, increase bone mass during menopause, and protect against various cancers because of its isoflavone content and other constituents. Recent evidence does show that Red Clover helps improve heart health in menopausal women. This is important because as estrogen levels decline, women’s cardiovascular risk factors approach those of men, who have a higher risk of heart attack earlier in life.
Promotes a healthy prostate naturally
Several properties of Red Clover are recognized in Eastern as well as Western cultures. Both groups use Red Clover as an important rejuvenator, a diuretic in gout, a sedative in bronchial conditions, and for whooping cough because of its antispasmodic and expectorant activity. It is used by both cultures to treat debilitating, infectious, and inflammatory diseases, i.e.. Asthma, bronchitis, ulcers, skin ailments, rheumatism, and arthritis. Red Clover is used for its general eliminative, detoxifying or cleansing activities. Its gentle effects work well in chronic diseases, most commonly it has been used in skin and respiratory problems. The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia list Clover as a dermatological agent for use in skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
