Common Uses

Red clover is a superb blood and lymphatic cleansing herb helpful for lymphatic congestion, acne, eczema, psoriasis, boils and other chronic skin conditions. Also a great respiratory herb, it may assist with coughs, bronchitis, pertussis (whooping cough), spasmodic or croupy coughs, and pharyngeal inflammation. The phytoestrogenic constituents give the herb a use in PMS, peri and post menopause, and to maintain a healthy prostate gland in males.

Suggested Dosage

Take one or two capsules three times daily with water at mealtimes or prepared as a tea. If this is the 1st time you have taken this product, you would be advised to start with 1 capsule once a day only. Take this for 3-4 days. Then increase this dosage to 1 capsule twice a day. Each 3 days, increase by 1 capsule until taking this amount.

Health Information

Although Red Clover has a long history as an important fodder crop, recognition as a medicinal herb is fairly recent. The nomadic or gypsy cultures of 19th century Europe are responsible for giving this herb much of its healing reputation. It is the lead ingredient in Red Clover Combination, made famous by Hoxey, Dr. Christopher and others. Red Clover is used as an alterative (cleanser) especially useful in mild toxaemia, abnormal cell growth, skin conditions and as a diuretic. Can also be used as an expectorant and a mild antispasmodic. Genistein, a weakly estrogenic compound in the flower may block off cellular estrogen receptors, helping to reduce tumour enlargement. Studies have shown that men may benefit from a diet rich in isoflavones to help maintain a healthy prostate gland, so Red clover is also highly useful in men's health. In another study, scientists found that the supplement improved arterial compliance in postmenopausal women. It is suggested that this action may help protect postmenopausal women from developing heart disease.
