Potential applications where Red Clover may be helpful to those suffering symptoms:

• premenstrual tension (especially when associated with oestrogen excess)

• enlarged prostate and other prostate disorders

• cellular protection

• coughs and general respiratory congestion

• bronchitis

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.
