Red Clover Tincture for Hormonal Balance and Menopause Symptoms

Red clover, Trifolium pratense, is a robust wild flowering plant thriving wherever corn is cultivated. It excels in cool conditions, flourishing as a biennial or short-lived perennial in southern Canada, the northern U.S., and at higher elevations in the Southeast and West. As a member of the legume family, farmers and ranchers cultivate red clover to nourish livestock and serve as a cover crop, effectively protecting soil from water runoff, enhancing aeration, and enriching the soil with nitrogen.

Red Clover is a powerful source of essential nutrients, including calcium, chromium, magnesium, copper, niacin, phosphorus, thiamine, potassium, Vitamin C, and B vitamins. It contains coumarins, which can block Vitamin K and affect blood clotting, so it is crucial not to exceed 120 grams per day. Traditional medicine confidently utilizes Red Clover to address a range of conditions.

Historically, red clover was used for asthma, whooping cough, cancer, and gout. Today, extracts from red clover are most often promoted for menopause symptoms, high cholesterol levels, or osteoporosis. 

Red clover offers a range of benefits, including:

·       Alleviating menopause symptoms. Red clover is rich in isoflavones, plant-based compounds similar to estrogen, which can effectively address hot flashes, night sweats, depression, anxiety, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular health. Research indicates that a 12-week regimen of 40 milligrams of red clover can significantly improve menopausal symptoms and enhance skin health.

·       Supporting bone health and preventing bone thinning. Red clover has the potential to boost bone mineral density in premenopausal and perimenopausal women. A study demonstrated that consuming 20 grams of red clover over 12 weeks led to improved bone density.

·       Enhancing respiratory health. Red clover effectively thins mucus and lubricates the respiratory tract, facilitating the expulsion of mucus from the lungs. This makes it beneficial for treating bronchitis, asthma, and whooping cough.

·       Improving cholesterol levels. Some studies have shown that red clover isoflavones can increase HDL ("good") cholesterol in pre and postmenopausal women and decrease LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Other research has found that red clover extracts can reduce total cholesterol.
