Red clover or Trifolium pratense, is a variety of clover that is related to the pea. Specifically, it is a trefoil, a term taken from the Latin trifolium, meaning "three-leaved plant."" Native to Europe, Asia and naturalized in many other parts of the world, red clover is a common forage crop and a source of food for honeybees.
Red clover contains compounds called isoflavones, which can help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Red clover is also believed to support heart health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's used as a natural remedy for promoting skin health and addressing conditions like eczema.
Contraindications for red clover include its potential interaction with blood-thinning medications, so individuals taking such drugs should exercise caution and consult a healthcare professional. It's not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
