Red Clover on psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic skin together. The most common type of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis. This is a recurring disease that causes one or more high, red patches that have silvery scales and a clear boundary between the patch and normal skin.
Red is a wild plant of clover, which is used for livestock grazing and other animals. It has also been used in medicine to treat a number of conditions. Traditionally, these have included cancer, whooping cough, respiratory problems, and skin inflammations such as psoriasis and eczema. Red clover was thought to "purify" the blood by acting as a diuretic (helping the body get rid of excess fluid) and expectorant (helping the lungs clear of mucous), improving circulation, and help cleanse the liver.
Modern scientific tests have shown that red clover contains isoflavones, chemicals from plants that produce effects similar to estrogen in the body. Isoflavones have shown potential in treating a number of conditions associated with menopause such as hot flashes, cardiovascular health and osteoporosis. However, researchers have realized the side effects of taking estrogen, there is also some concern about the safety of isoflavones. And evidence that red clover helps reduce the symptoms of menopause - such as hot flashes - is mixed.
