Red clover, rich in phytoestrogens, is traditionally used to ease menopause symptoms like hot flashes, support bone health, and improve heart health, with some studies showing potential for cholesterol and prostate health, but more research is needed, and it should be avoided by those with hormone-sensitive conditions or bleeding disorders. Its antioxidant properties also benefit skin and respiratory issues, but overall, benefits vary, and scientific evidence is inconsistent for many uses.
