Red Clover Herb (Trifolium pratense)

Hormone Balance & Menopause Support:

• Red clover’s isoflavones (genistein, daidzein, biochanin A, formononetin) mimic mild estrogenic activity.
  

• Helps ease menopausal symptoms such as:
  

• Hot flashes
  

• Night sweats
  

• Mood swings
  

• Vaginal dryness
  

• May also support bone density in postmenopausal women.

Cardiovascular Health:

• May help increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol and reduce LDL.
  

• Supports blood vessel flexibility, improving circulation.
  

• Isoflavones may also reduce inflammation in blood vessels.

Skin Health:

• Traditionally used for eczema, psoriasis, and rashes.
  

• Its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties may promote clearer skin when taken as tea or applied topically.

Respiratory & Lymphatic Support:

• Used historically as an expectorant for coughs, bronchitis, and asthma.
  

• Helps clear lymphatic congestion—often used in detox or “blood-cleansing” herbal blends.

Detoxification & Liver Support:

• Red clover is known as a gentle blood purifier.
  

• May help the liver eliminate toxins and improve overall metabolic function.

Bone Health:

• Isoflavones may help slow bone loss and improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Precautions:

• Avoid during pregnancy (acts hormonally).
  

• Use caution if taking blood thinners (like warfarin)—red clover contains coumarins that can increase bleeding risk.
  

• Those with hormone-sensitive conditions (like breast or uterine cancer) should consult a doctor before use.
