Red clover is a lesser known phytoestrogenic herb, although it is perhaps one of the most potent of this category of plants. The red and purple flowers of the red clover plant contain particularly high levels of phytoestrogens, and thus are thought to provide effective menopause symptom relief.

Red clover (Trifolium pretense), sometimes known as meadow clover or wild clover, is part of the legume family, along with beans and peanuts. Red clover is native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa, but today grows all over the world. The flowering tops of the red clover plant are the source of its medicinal properties, used to prepare pills, teas or tinctures to treat menopause symptoms as well as respiratory problems.
Red clover has traditionally been administered to treat respiratory ailments, including asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough, as well as skin problems such as psoriasis and eczema, digestive problems, and for detoxification. Furthermore, studies suggest that certain microorganisms interact with sweet clover to produce a molecule that can prevent blood clotting.
Red clover contains higher levels of phytoestrogens than almost any other phytoestrogenic herb, and thus has become increasingly popular for the treatment of common menopause symptoms, including:
Hot flashes
Depression
Irritability, mood swings
Osteoporosis

Treating Hormonal Imbalance with MacaActive |
|
Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play an essential role in several areas of the body, and as hormonal levels decline with age, the health implications can be significant. As women begin to notice the symptoms of hormone deficiency, they may want to consider taking steps to stabilize their hormonal production.
Today, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle changes (such as an improved diet and increased exercise) are vital for overall health and for alleviating the symptoms of hormonal balance, but lifestyle changes alone will not have a significant impact on hormonal production. Most women will want to consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating hormonal imbalance in a safe and natural way.
|

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for improving low hormone levels: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish the hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Using non-estrogenic herbs is one of the safest and best ways to treat hormonal imbalance naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal deficiency is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest cost. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.
