Red clover relieves problems when menopause.

Red clover can ease when having feaver during the night in menopause, an effect associated with the content of isoflavones (biochanin A, formononetine and genistein) in the herb. These are estrogen-like substances (phytoestrogens) that help maintain normal estrogen levels through menopause. What is less known is that red clover can also have an anti-estrogenic effect on the body. This is because phytoestrogens have a weaker estrogen effect than estrogens produced by the body, and both bind to estrogen receptors. If the estrogen production in the body is high, phytoestrogens, which appear weaker, may reduce overall estrogenic effect, and this is one of the reasons why red clover is beneficial in breast cancer treatment.
