Red
Clover is a source of phytoestrogens which are often used to help
maintain healthy hormone balance in women and in men.
Female
Hormonal Tonic If
the levels of oestrogen are too high, the herb's comparatively weak
phytoestrogenic isoflavones (1,000 weaker) can occupy receptors that
otherwise could have been occupied by the much stronger hormone. If the
oestrogen activity in the body is too low, phytoestrogens can exert a
mild positive oestrogenic effect. Prostate
Protective As
excessive oestrogen activity is also associated with prostate
dysfunction (such as enlarged prostate) the oestrogen-blocking
capabilities of red clover's phytoestrogenic isoflavones are thought to be
of potential benefit. Cell
Protective The
phytoestrogenic isoflavones have been very thoroughly studied with
respect to their potential cell-protecting abilities. The research
suggests a number of relevant mechanisms for this protective effect,
including inhibition of certain cell damaging agents (e.g. free
radicals) and inhibition of adverse cellular changes. Anti-bacterial Laboratory
tests on red clover have shown it to possess activity against a variety
of pathogenic bacteria. Expectorant Although
research has yet to clearly explain the reasons for this use, one of the
most prominent historical uses of red clover is as an expectorant in
clearing respiratory congestion in cases of coughs and other bronchial
conditions.

Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of
health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into
the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming
methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even
some in the medical community are starting to accept them.
Many of today’s
medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the
white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis
from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important
constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they
food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”.
Some of the herbs
available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others
are meticulously cultivated on herb farms. |
