Red Clover is a deeply nutritive herb and is used to support skin health, the detoxification pathways of the liver and the lymphatic system. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the herb is believed to help clear heat, remove toxins and is used for digestive and respiratory health.
In menopause, Red Clover may help to relieve hot flashes and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. These benefits are likely due to its isoflavone content, which includes genistein, daidzein, and biochannin-A, among other isoflavones. Studies show that Red Clover may help to prevent bone loss in post-menopausal women, again, potentially due to its high isoflavone content.
Red Clover is considered a lymphatic tonic, which means that it supports the healthy function of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and tissues that helps to remove waste products and toxins from the body.
