Red Clover herb is a boon for women’s health. Its tea is rich in isoflavones, which act as phytoestrogens that tend to help in improving fertility, bone mass, and decrease post-menopausal symptoms.

In childhood, we used to hunt for three and four-leaf clovers for good luck. Nevertheless, for maintaining good health, you cannot rely on luck alone. Therefore ladies, instead of hunting for imaginary clover, turn to Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) –the ‘health-boosting herb’. Over the past many decades, Red Clover is renowned for its effective and natural role in improving female health by maintaining bone mineral density, improving fertility, lowering menopause symptoms, along preventing heart-related complications (high cholesterol and blood pressure). Red Clover is a source of many-valued nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, thiamine, and vitamin C. It is available in the form of dry flower tea, extract, capsule, and liquid tincture.

Red Clover is known for its wonderful health benefits, which is why it is used widely to treat several ailments. Let us examine the top evidence-based uses of this nourishing tea:

• Natural isoflavones for hormone replacement therapy (HRT):

  Red Clover is naturally rich in isoflavones. Isoflavones are phenolic compounds that give an effect like estrogen, which is why they are called phytoestrogen (plant-derived). This property of isoflavones makes them act like the estrogen (female) hormone. Red Clover tea helps to ease pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal & post-menopausal symptoms. According to a review article by Masumeh Ghazanfarpour published in Avicenna Journal of Phytomedicine 2015, Red Clover tea helps in lowering symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweating, and vaginal dryness and also can maintain the FSH, LH hormones. Thus, Red Clover tea can be used as a source of natural isoflavones for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

• Natural way for women to maintain hair and skin:

  Due to current changes in the environment, food, better life expectancy, and work stress, women’s bodies face estrogen scarcity. This scarcity leads to several significant long-term changes such as early changes in hair, nail, skin, which may usually be neglected by health care providers but not by the women themselves. As Red Clover is rich in natural isoflavones, Red Clover tea can be the best option to lower these symptoms. According to a research article published in the International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2011, natural isoflavones therapy in the form of using Red Clover (i.e., phytoestrogens) can help in the management of scalp and hair for better texture, less fragility, and overall volume. Whereas for skin conditions, this tea offers a better texture, more moisture, and reduces early lines on the face.

• Natural fertility booster:

  If you are looking for a fertility booster, Red Clover is your one-stop solution. Red Clover helps in the normal functioning of female reproductive health to promote healthy fertility. Healthy fertility starts with regular menstruation (bleeding during uterine periods). Menstruation is a physiological process and part of the active fertility and ability to conceive in the life of healthy young women around the world. However, the unbalancing in female hormones can disturb it. According to a research article by Faeghe Tajallaie-Asl published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Research 2017, any disruption in the menstrual cycle can be a cause of concern for women and requires careful assessment and treatment. The use of medicinal herbs such as Red Clover has shown promise in areas of estrogen-related health issues. Red Clover is rich in isoflavones, which act as a plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) and help in managing menstrual regularity. This mechanism can help in decreasing problems such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and the timing of menstrual bleeding. A decrease in these symptoms can help in improving fertility and feminine health.

• Red Clover and osteoporosis:

  Like other health benefits, Red Clover tea helps prevent postmenopausal bone loss. A research article by Anne Cathrine Thorup published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2015 concludes that intervention through daily consumption of Red Clover extract tea gives a beneficial effect on bone mass health. This analysis strongly indicates that Red Clover decreases osteoclast activity and promotes osteoblast activity, without change in blood pressure or markers of inflammation status being found.
