Red clover falls under the group of herbs which are part of traditional medicine, and are widely used to treat various health conditions. Among these health conditions, it was found that red clover is used to manage hot flashes, helps to deal with osteoporosis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Consumption of this herb should be done after consulting with the health care provider/ Doctor, mostly if one is taking a specific chronic medication.

Red clover has been used in traditional medicine, however, not all the claims are based on science yet. There have been reports that the red clover may help to improve hair and skin health. It has also been used to relieve some respiratory issues such as asthma.
