Potential applications where Red Clover may be helpful to those suffering symptoms: premenstrual tension (especially when associated with oestrogen excess) enlarged prostate and other prostate disorders cellular protection coughs and general respiratory congestion bronchitis
Red Clover is a source of phytoestrogens which are often used to help maintain healthy hormone balance in women and in men. Female Hormonal Tonic If the levels of oestrogen are too high, the herb's comparatively weak phytoestrogenic isoflavones (1,000 weaker) can occupy receptors that otherwise could have been occupied by the much stronger hormone. If the oestrogen activity in the body is too low, phytoestrogens can exert a mild positive oestrogenic effect. Prostate Protective As excessive oestrogen activity is also associated with prostate dysfunction (such as enlarged prostate) the oestrogen-blocking capabilities of red clover's phytoestrogenic isoflavones are thought to be of potential benefit. Cell Protective The phytoestrogenic isoflavones have been very thoroughly studied with respect to their potential cell-protecting abilities. The research suggests a number of relevant mechanisms for this protective effect, including inhibition of certain cell damaging agents (e.g. free radicals) and inhibition of adverse cellular changes. Anti-bacterial Laboratory tests on red clover have shown it to possess activity against a variety of pathogenic bacteria. Expectorant Although research has yet to clearly explain the reasons for this use, one of the most prominent historical uses of red clover is as an expectorant in clearing respiratory congestion in cases of coughs and other bronchial conditions.

For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even some in the medical community are starting to accept them. Many of today’s medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”. Some of the herbs available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others are meticulously cultivated on herb farms. |
