Red Clover Herbal Tincture

Red Clover is an herb that grows in meadows and a close relative to the clover you may find in the front yard. The red flowers offer therapeutic potential, and are full of nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, niacin, magnesium, thiamine, chromium and vitamin C. Extracts of Red Clover may help to fight infection, suppress appetite, and have expectorant, antispasmodic, and relaxing effects. They are an excellent herb for bacterial infections, and inflamed lungs, and are also found to be beneficial for inflammatory bowel disorders, liver disease, kidney problems and skin disorders. Some studies suggest that the Red Clover isoflavones may slow bone loss and boost bone mineral density in pre-menopause and perimenopausal women. Red clover may also have blood thinning properties which improves blood flow and helps to prevent blood clots. When applied to the skin in an ointment it may help to treat eczema, psoriasis and skin rashes.

The isoflavones found in the flowers is a rich source of phytoestrogens, which are water soluble chemicals that act like estrogen in the body. Isoflavones also have strong antioxidant properties, and recent research has shown that it stimulates the immune system. And it has also been found that these isoflavones, might help to reduce the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats. Red clover tinctures may also help protect against bone loss.

The use of Red Clover extracts as an herbal remedy goes back centuries, and the plant has a long history of both topical and internal applications. In topical applications, Red Clover is often used in liniments and balms, for relieving the pain of eczema and psoriasis, sores, burns and even as an aid against skin cancer. The pain-relieving properties of the herb are likely due to the presence of the anti-inflammatory compounds eugenol, salicyclic acid and myricetin in the flowers.

Red Clover has also been used as a "blood purifier" and has been included in traditional herbal formulas. It is definitely a blood thinner due to its high concentration of coumarin. For cases of thrombosis, and other conditions caused by poor circulation and blood obstructions, the herb has been found to be very useful.
