Red Clover
Red Clover has been used for centuries across cultures for a variety of ailments—from purifying the blood to treating chronic skin conditions and clearing respiratory congestion. But perhaps its most common use is for menopause relief: the isoflavones in Red Clover naturally mimic estrogen, helping reduce both the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats. By emulating the effects of estrogen, Red Clover also helps prevent bone loss, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women.
Red Clover has also been show to support fertility in women due to its ability to balance hormones and so promote a healthy reproductive system. The phytoestrogens in Red Clover help regulate the menstrual cycle and create a more predictable and optimal environment for ovulation and conception, and its thought to enhance uterine health be thickening the uterine lining. Red Clover also improves cervical mucus quality, which is necessary for sperm survival as it travels through the reproductive tract.
But Red Clover is not just for women, as it also supports the body’s natural detoxification systems, helping to clear out environmental toxins and pollutants, and is rich in vitamin C, niacin, and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus; Red Clover eases respiratory discomfort and supports a healthy inflammatory response. It also eases the muscles off the bronchial tubes, which can help relieve coughing spasms. And it’s always worth noting that Druids used it to ward off evil spells and witches.
Note: Women with any hormone-sensitive conditions, or with pre-existing health conditions, should absolutely consult with a doctor first.
