RED CLOVER - ALTERNATIVE TO HELP SKIN TROUBLES

Mode Of Action

A sweet-tasting alterative herb, red clover detoxifies the tissues by putting toxins back into circulation so that they can be eliminated. Red clover is used to treat skin problems accompanied by dryness and heat, both acute and chronic. Taken over the long-term, red clover infusion improves eczema, psoriasis, acne, leg ulcers, boils, hives and impetigo. Red clover is well adapted to children’s needs. It soothes all types of itching and skin eruptions, including those caused by childhood diseases such as chicken pox and measles. It is used to treat cradle cap (seborrhea). It stimulates the lymphatic system and reduces congestion and swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck. It is used to help treat the mumps. Red clover calms inflammation and promotes tissue repair.

Red clover is restorative, hydrating and nutritious. Its high mineral and trace elements content helps alkalize the organism, as well as nourish the blood and nervous system. Red clover helps maintain bone density and is recommended for women in menopause, which are more prone to osteoporosis. It relieves symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism.

Trifolium pratense reduces bronchial spasms. It is used for respiratory troubles with spasmodic cough such as bronchitis, asthma and whooping cough. It promotes expectoration. Red clover normalizes blood-fats, is antioxidant and anti-tumoral.

The main constituents of red clover are carbohydrates, flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin) and isoflavones (biochanin A, formononetin, genistein), polysaccharides, saponins, coumarins, phenolic acids (salicylic acid, coumaric acid), resin, volatile oils, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
