Red Clover Menopause Tea
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) flower head tea is a safe, versatile remedy that helps promote a more comfortable menopause. Red Clovers contain isoflavones, which are plant-based chemicals that produce estrogen-like effects in the body. Isoflavones empower Red Clover tea to ease and prevent menopause symptoms like hot flashes, osteoporosis, dry skin and hair, and heart problems. Red Clover is a tonic herb, so enjoy several cups a day, if you wish! Women using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and women with breast cancer should consult their doctor before drinking red clover tea.

Begone, Hot Flashes!
Red Clover can reduce the severity of hot flashes by increasing estradiol, the most potent and abundant form of estrogen during a woman’s reproductive years. The drop of estrogen levels during menopause causes the body’s heat manager, aka the hypothalamus, to react to slight changes in body temperature. When the hypothalamus perceives the body is too warm, it responds with a hot flash to cool the body down. Isoflavones like those in Red Clover are similar to estrogen, so they can weakly bind to the same receptors as estrogen and do some of its work. Accordingly, they can affect the hormonal pathway and increase estradiol. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are commonly prescribed menopausal medications; however, they don’t treat hot flashes, and they may increase the risk of thrombosis (dangerous blood clots). Red Clover is nature’s potent alternative.

Stronger Bones with Red Clover
The risk of developing osteoporosis (significant bone loss) increases when estrogen levels drop during menopause. Red Clover’s legume isoflavones help slow bone loss and can even boost bone mineral density in pre- and perimenopausal women.
Lower Risk of Heart Disease with Red Clover
Estrogen helps protect women from cardiovascular disease. Lower estrogen levels put menopausal and post-menopausal women at a greater risk of heart problems. Red Clover’s phytoestrogenic isoflavones can help prevent cardiovascular disease by reducing total cholesterol levels. Also, they can significantly increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, aka “good” cholesterol, which picks up excess cholesterol and transports it back to the liver, where it’s processed and removed from the body. Higher HDL levels are linked to a lower risk of heart disease.Red Clover improves circulation by clearing the arteries. It also supports the liver’s natural detoxification processes.
