(Trifolium pratense) Red clover is a perennial herb plant that is cultivated in many places around the globe, but was originally native to temperate climates in Asia and Europe. Red clover has most often been used topically to treat skin inflammations such as psoriasis and eczema. It also acts as an expectorant and demulcent, and is helpful in the treatment of bronchitis and spasmodic coughs, particularly whooping cough. In recent years, red clover has been the focus of studies for its estrogen-like properties. These studies are indicating that red clover can be used to help treat the symptoms of PMS in pre-menopausal women and heat flashes in menopausal women. Caution: Pregnant or nursing women should be careful using red clover since it has not been determined if there are any side effects for the baby.
