Red Clover - Heart, Bone and Cancer Risk Reductions

Information

Red Clover was highly regarded in the ancient world as a cleansing medicinal herb, especially when chronic disease had set into the lungs or the skin.

Phytoestrogenic effects involve plant compounds mimicking or blocking estrogen in the body, leading to potential benefits like reduced menopausal symptoms, lower heart disease/cancer risk, and bone protection.

The 'phyto-oestrogenic' effects of Red Clover are extremely mild and that consequently its ability to benefit menopausal symptoms, or bone loss etc. must not be over-estimated, they are likely to be moderate at best, however there should be a caution about using it in any significant amounts whilst pregnant.

The other time I would be cautious about using is for a person who is taking blood-thinning drugs, as it may make the blood too thin. However, if there are good reasons to use it, then surely it makes more sense to have an open mind to potentially reducing the drug side of the equation rather than avoiding a herb like Red Clover that may make the blood less sticky and certainly will help it be to be more clean.

Unlike a drug that carries real risks of toxicity along with making the blood too thin, such herbs are nearly always widely beneficial to the system as a whole, e.g. herbs/foods such as Garlic, Ginger etc. do not do harm by their frequent or generous intake, neither will Red Clover ever make the blood too thin by itself.
