April's Health Tip - Red Clover

There are many beneficial herbs available to support our health. In past newsletters, stinging nettle and ginger have been featured. This month the qualities of red clover will be examined.

Red clover is a fairly inconspicuous herb, recognized by most, in our gardens or on our lawns. It is one of the world's oldest agricultural crops. A member of the pea family, red clover is found throughout Europe and North America.

Long regarded as a good luck charm, this "common" herb stands tall above the rest when it comes to its history as an herbal remedy. Traditionally, red clover was considered to be a remedy for coughs, heart disease and skin problems. While the benefits of red clover have yet to be proven conclusively, high levels of isoflavones in red clover is prompting research into cancer treatment, cardiovascular problems and menopause.

Red Clover Collage

Susun Weed suggests that women should look to red clover as a reliable ally. Here is what she writes in her book, "Menopausal Years":

"...it (red clover) is everything you thought soy would be, with none of soy's drawbacks. Instead of leaching minerals from the bones, red clover contributes generously to bone health. Instead of disturbing the thyroid, red clover helps normalize it...Red clover contains more active phytoestrogens in greater quantity than soy. Strong infusions of the blossoms are thoroughly safe to use and highly effective...Red clover is an ally you will lean on for the rest of your life. It is a subtle, complex herb, mild yet deep, superbly nourishing and wonderfully grounding..."

While red clover supplements are available at most natural food stores, using red clover as a tea or herbal infusion is an easy and inexpensive way to enjoy this herb. Whatever its medicinal properties may be, red clover has a pleasant taste and makes an enjoyable, relaxing beverage.

Here's a nice way to prepare red clover tea. Place some red clover blossoms in a tea pot. Add a small amount of finely shaved ginger root. Let steep in boiling water and add a touch of honey to taste. Sip it hot or enjoy it cold as a refreshing summer drink. Enjoy this wonderful gift of nature and let your body decide its benefits!

*As with all herbs, always consult your physician if you intend to use red clover on an ongoing bases. Drinking a few cups of red clover tea a day should not be a problem. There are warnings associated with "over consumption" of red clover. If you are pregnant, nursing or on medication and wish to use red clover supplements, please consult your physician.

Lifestyle Choice:

While not an earth shattering experience, drinking herbal teas is one of the simple pleasures of life. Having herbal tea after a meal is a quiet and unassuming ritual that softens the transition from a leisurely meal back to the world of work and duty. Drinking herbal teas is an inexpensive and rewarding lifestyle choice. Unlike some lifestyle choices, there are no negative side effects to this wonderful habit.

Quote:

"...Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps, then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
Rainer Maria Rilke Letters to a Young Poet
