Indications and contraindications for meadow clover. What are the benefits of red clover? For chronic cough, bronchitis, bronchial asthma

Clover, whose beneficial properties and contraindications are due to the presence of flavonoids and phytoestrogens in its composition, is recommended as active additive to food for some hormonal disorders associated with the onset of menopause. If stored improperly, medicinal raw materials can cause irreparable harm health. Red and white clover flowers are used in folk medicine for the treatment of bronchi and diseases of the internal female genital organs located in the pelvic area. Meadow clover is used by pharmaceutical factories to prepare various forms and is recommended by official medicine for hormonal disorders.

Why is the plant useful?

Meadow clover is used more often than white creeping clover, which contains the same useful components, but in smaller quantities. Fresh white clover juice is used externally in folk medicine for treatment. skin diseases, wounds, burns. It helps in treating rheumatic symptoms and will help stop bleeding.

At the red clover greatest number active components are found in the stems and roots, but for treatment at home, if you turn to folk practice, flowers with upper leaves are collected. The aerial part of the plant and the root contain:

  • essential oil;
  • isoflavones;
  • carotene;
  • coumarins;
  • microelements;
  • various vitamins;
  • saponins;
  • steroids;
  • carbohydrates;
  • flavonoids;
  • phenolcarboxylic acids;
  • quinones.

Benefits of red clover for female body due to the presence of four hormone-like substances in it that slow down the aging process. In case of individual intolerance, taking the extract can be harmful due to the large amount of phytohormones.

Preparations made from this herb can also be used by men. The benefit of the extract is that it suppresses testosterone production in adolescents suffering from oily seborrhea and juvenile acne. Taking clover preparations is useful for young men who have an excess male hormone leads to the appearance of persistent acne and early baldness.

Any type of clover (both red and white) traditional healers It is recommended to use it to improve the health of the body. Infusion of flowers and upper leaves helps:

  • cleanse the body after intoxication with chemicals;
  • increase protective functions;
  • replenish the lack of nutrients in a poor diet;
  • relieve an acute allergic reaction;
  • improve the condition skin for dermatitis, psoriasis and seborrhea;
  • remove from cells excess water and relieve swelling;
  • reduce the number of asthma relapses;
  • improve health during menopause.

Although conventional medicine believes that both red clover and white clover have minimal health benefits and may cause harm, women use this herb to reduce symptoms during menopause and receive significant relief from herbal medicine.

When should the plant be used?

White clover in official medicine It is not recommended for use and no studies have been conducted with it. Observations of experimental groups made it possible to find out when it is possible to obtain undoubted benefits from taking red clover extract. The medicinal plant is recommended for:

  • Parkinson's disease;
  • osteoporosis;
  • risk of cardiovascular complications;
  • liming of blood vessels;
  • problems with visuospatial function;
  • menopause;
  • bronchial disease.

Extracts prepared at home can be taken for up to six months. Such long-term treatment is recommended if such pathological conditions body, such as precancerous diseases of the mammary gland, increased sweating and nervousness that accompany menopause.

Despite the presence of a large amount of hormone-like substances in the plant, clover extract will be useless when female infertility. The active components cannot stimulate the production of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones.

Can weed be harmful to health?

Clover extract may harm pregnant women, causing a risk of miscarriage. Nursing mothers, using an infusion of herbs rich in phytoestrogens, can harm the baby, causing him long-term violations in the functioning of the internal secretion organs.

Official medicine warns that uncontrolled use of clover preparations for a long time in large volumes can cause heavy bleeding.

The active component in the plant - coumarin - has the property of strongly thinning the blood, preventing the formation of platelets. This is the impact active substance may be dangerous when weak vessels and increased blood pressure, which clover is unable to regulate.

Only dry crushed raw materials, which were prepared with violations of technology, have the ability to strongly thin the blood. If, during drying, the flowers and leaves of the plant were affected by microscopic molds, then the resulting raw materials will contain poisonous toxins, which, in combination with coumarin, greatly thin the blood. In order not to cause such harm to the body, it is recommended to use only fresh flowers and leaves for preparing various forms.

To get the expected benefits from red or white clover extract, you need to collect 100 inflorescences and pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over them. This amount is enough to get the daily dose of phytoestrogens. Treatment with an extract from fresh flowers can be continued as long as this plant blooms in the meadow.

For those who do not have the opportunity to constantly collect raw materials for daily consumption, we can recommend making an alcohol tincture by filling a glass vessel with flowers and pouring vodka over them. To obtain safe dry raw materials, you need to collect clover flowers in dry weather and dry them in the oven at a temperature of 60°C. Store medicinal raw materials in glass jars for one year.

We followed your recommendations. Conducted course: collection with Zyuznik - Hawthorn flowers, Hawthorn fruits, Red Clover flowers, Sophora japonica fruits, grass and flowers of the Common Cuff, and 2 times a day, 15 drops of Potentilla. In general, the wife feels fine and continues to drink herbal tea and tincture. Tyrosol is also NOT taken.

I have been your client for a long time. She was lying down. Thanks to your herbs, and I drank many of them, for example, Jujube, Sunflower root, Vascular with Clover, etc. I began to move around, go outside, even go to the store. I couldn't do this before.

Good afternoon.

I’ll add: I’m 60 years old, height 180 cm, weight 116 kg. The results of the latest tests are in the photo in the attachment, the main diagnosis established and the treatment provided are also there.

Neurological and vascular symptoms- numbness and cramps of the feet and toes, fingers freeze at normal temperatures. angina pectoris, tachycardia, initial stage cataracts.

Good afternoon, Vladimir Vasilievich!

It's good that I saw the results of the examination!

Let's change the collection somewhat - the liver leaves much to be desired, and so do the blood vessels:

Cook and drink the same way.

2. Due to severe angiopathy, I consider it necessary to add general turpentine baths, mixed - yellow and white. I am sure that this is the only way to cure capillaropathy in diabetes mellitus.

You are unlikely to have read the main work of A.S. Zalmanov. ( personal doctor Lenin) "Secret Wisdom" human body".

Here he outlined his theory of capillary circulation, which is still fundamental; and his own way to treat ALL diseases by re-education of capillaries, using turpentine baths. This is an unforgettable book and a must have for every medical practitioner.

You can buy formulations that are as close as possible to the original ones.

If you read the book and approve of the method, I will give detailed recommendations.

In the end, you can start with turpentine foot baths.

Pour 20.0 grams of crushed seeds into 0.5 liters of vodka, leave for 2 weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally, strain. Use externally, for rubbing calf muscles and the anterior surface of the legs.

Let's try standing on an improvised massage mat made of young pine cones.

Have a good start, Vladimir Vasilievich!

See you in touch! :-)

Please advise herbal treatment for my problems.

Age 56 years old, profession - accountant.

The essence of the problem:

Point by point - everything that causes discomfort (both physical and psychological; complaints, not diagnoses):

1. Pain (mainly at night) in thoracic region spine - right side in the area of ​​the scapula (mostly), less often on the left and girdling pain along the lower edge of the ribs, since January 2017.

2. Pain in cervical spine spine (mostly at night), with shooting in the back of the head. Restrictions when turning the head, especially to the left, since February 2018.

3. Pain in the masticatory muscle of the face, to the left of the left ear with shooting in the temple and larynx, since November 2017. Currently decreased (since July 2018).

4. Pressure surges. Since June 2017 (first crisis 170/100). Then, until May 2018, the repetitions are rare up to 140/95 with convulsions. From May 2018 to June 2018 - 2 crises were repeated, blood pressure was 160/100 and several more jumps to 140/90. At the peak - convulsions.

In July, several times in a lying position, at night - panic attacks - numbness of the feet, hands, then the whole body, pain in the heart - a feeling of strong heartbeat with blood pressure 110/70, anxiety.

Cardiologist: somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system of the cardinal type, sympatho-adrenal crises.

Conclusion on the cardiogram dated July 17, 2018: the electrical axis of the heart is deviated to the left, sharp. Voltage. normal Rhythm syn. owl. ECG without pathologies. Blockade of the anterior branch of the left leg of the His. left ventricular hypertrophy . Changes in the myocardium.

Hello, Natalia!

Apparently you filled out a form for another site.

I read everything carefully and, frankly speaking, I think that adding anything else to this diagram would be superfluous.

Experience shows that it is better to build something new than to destroy and rebuild the old.

I hope I didn’t offend you by expressing my opinion.

Good luck and all the best!

Hello!

The rheumatologist diagnosed: livedovasculopathy, stage 1 arterial hypertension, left kidney cyst. Anticoagulant therapy was prescribed, Pradaxa 110 and 2.5 mg twice a day. As a result of the study, genetic defects of folate cycle enzymes were identified: MTHFR: 677C T result C/T (normal C/C), MTHFR: 1298A C result A/C (normal A/A), MTRR: 66A G result A/G (normal A/A).

Later, a cardiologist diagnosed: ischemic heart disease, unstable angina II B, arterial hypertension III degree.

Total cholesterol - 7.5, platelets - 144.

As a result, appointed the following medications: Losartan 100 mg, Norvax 10 mg, Concor 5 mg, Crestor 10, Pradaxa 110, Plavix 75 mg, Omez 20.

I have been taking the pills for about two months, and my total cholesterol has dropped to 5.2. Is it possible to replace the treatment with herbal treatment? Completely, or at least partially?

Hello, Vladimir!

Unfortunately, stopping medications is tantamount to the work of Sisyphus! As soon as you cancel everything, cholesterol and lipids will soar higher than before. If there is no critical narrowing of the lumen of the coronary arteries by plaque (narrowing up to 50%) and the person is able to completely change their lifestyle and diet - you can do without statins and you can completely and significantly reduce the dose antihypertensive drugs. Especially if there was no heart attack!

You need to breathe before you take a sip. open mouth(feel the effects of Mint).

We will be glad to see you in the branded stores of the Staroslav Ecofactory in your city, as well as in our online store.

All the best, Vladimir, see you if you want to continue the dialogue!

07/16/18 Anna

Hello, dear doctor!

Hello Anna!

In general, it is not the cholesterol level that needs to be changed, but the entire lifestyle, starting with nutrition. And it’s not cholesterol that needs to be put in order, but the ENTIRE lipid spectrum. Many people do not know that cholesterol is a great blessing! And, above all, because billions of cell membranes consist of it; All sex hormones and many lipids (energy suppliers) in the blood serum are synthesized.

If your lipid spectrum is normal, or almost normal; The atherogenic index is not significantly increased. You only need prevention of vascular complications, WITHOUT statins.

1. Kremlin drops, 5% alcohol tincture of iodine. This is the fastest and most convenient way not only to reduce cholesterol levels, but also to feel a surge of energy, strength, and sharpen memory and hearing.

Drink according to the “slide” pattern.

Start taking 1 drop once a day. Every day you need to add 1 drop per dose and, having reached 10 drops, immediately begin decreasing, removing 1 drop from each dose. Drop into any amount of milk.

Pour 50.0 grams of crushed roots into 500.0 ml of vodka, leave in a dark place for 3 weeks, shaking occasionally, strain. Drink 25-30 drops 3 times a day. Course - 2 months.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months, lipid control, change of herbs.

4. Nutrition is exactly what needs to be radically changed.

Get ready to temporarily become a vegetarian and love salads, vegetables, fruits; correct vegetable oils With high content polyunsaturated fatty acids- omega-3 and omega-6.

They are abundantly presented in flaxseed, olive, soybean, camelina, sunflower, mustard oils(unrefined); natural butter, lard. It is better to replace meat with fatty sea ​​fish and seafood.

We'll have to give up mayonnaise, fried food, refined sweets, white sugar, baked goods.

But the goal will be achieved, and quickly. And then you will get used to eating exactly this way.

If your blood pressure and blood sugar are normal, nothing else is needed for now.

See you in touch, looking forward to it!

07/15/18 Zlata

Hello!

Good day, Zlata!

I hope you had an MRI and didn’t find anything that could cause dizziness. In this case, consult an ENT specialist to rule out Meniere's syndrome.

If this is done, it is necessary to exclude , as well as increased level lipids; And hormonal imbalance(FSH, LH, Prolactin).

For now, let's try the classics:

20.0 grams of flowers, without crushing, pour 100.0 ml of 60-70% alcohol (or pharmaceutical Herboton) and leave for 7 days. Strain. Drink 10 drops 2 times a day - for low blood pressure; and 12-15 drops twice a day - with elevated blood pressure. Course - 1 month.

Repeat the course after 2 months.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 des.l. pour 200.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 200.0 ml.

Drink 70.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. The course is 1.5-2 months.

I think that for sensorineural hearing loss you need to try other herbs:

1. Tincture of red clover.

Pour 50.0 grams of chopped herbs into 500.0 ml of 40% alcohol or cognac and leave for 2 weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally. Strain.

Drink 20.0 ml before meals. Course - 3 months. After each month of treatment, take a break for 10 days.

2. Locally, drops.

1 tbsp. crushed seeds, pour 300.0 ml of vodka, leave for 2 weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally, strain.

Before use, mix 1:0.5 with oil (6 drops of tincture and 3 drops of peach or olive oil). Drip 3 times a day into both ears. Course - 3 weeks, break 7 days and repeat at least 4-5 times.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

Regarding the connection between noise and MPS, it is unlikely. BUT if there are specific problems, report them and confirm with a urine test.

I really hope to get results, but we need to be patient.

GOOD LUCK and see you in touch!

Hello, Yulia Evgenievna!

I am treating thyroid gland according to your recommendations. And now I would like to consult about my mother. She is 75 years old. Three years ago, she began to feel dizzy and her blood pressure rose. She underwent tests and was prescribed medications: indapafone 2.5 mg, bisoprolol 2.5 mg and lisinopril 5 mg. The dizziness went away, but the pressure was fluctuating, sometimes 160 x 110, sometimes 110 x 70. I went to the doctor again. I took tests, but the doctor was only interested in cholesterol, not blood pressure. The tests are as follows: leukocytes-6.4, hemoglobin-121, urea-7.7, kereatinin-73, cholesterol8.7, bilirubin-10.6, ROE-37, sugar-3.86, aspartate aminotransferase-25, alanine aminotransferase-20.

Doctors don’t bother too much with patients over 70; they told my mother that it could be worse, be happy. I live far from my mother, otherwise I would have visited this miracle doctor. Mom also has arthritis in her fingers. She does not sit at home, she walks several kilometers every day. Please advise something for my mom. What tests need to be taken? About 20 years ago I had liver problems. We really count on you!

Sveta, good day!

Cholesterol itself is NOT considered in isolation from lipids.

BUT, if LDL, VLDL, and Atherogenic Index are also high, immediately start giving your mother the following herbs:

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, roots to 3-5 mm. - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly. Take herbs without dosage instructions in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. Course 2 months, control of cholesterol and lipids.

Your mother has a high ESR - possibly due to arthritis; Urea is high.

The path will do general analysis urine and rheumotest.

I took everything into account in the collection.

For hand baths with a decoction of Lilac bark or branches. You can grind the prepared tincture of Marsh Sabelnik.

SEE YOU, GOOD LUCK!

Hello! Please tell me what herbs can be used to lower cholesterol levels? It stays at around 8 while the norm is up to 5. Age 68 years. Thank you!

Hello Olga!

In reducing cholesterol, you need to start with the liver, where cholesterol is formed, small intestine where it is absorbed into the blood; and the large intestine, where reabsorption occurs

I give you a short and effective scheme:

1. Kremlin drops

5% alcohol solution Yoda.

Drink 10 drops three times a day, AFTER meals, in 50.0 ml. milk. The course is exactly 3 weeks, a break of 2 weeks with cholesterol control.

Hello Tatiana!

Now my mother’s disease has begun to worsen. This is due to extremely unstable weather, atmospheric pressure surges up to 10 times a day. The first to react to this are hard, sclerotic vessels that are unable to adapt to these surges.

We will not quickly restore the elasticity of the blood vessels, but we must slowly free them from calcium.

Morozov drops will help to quickly normalize blood pressure, 30 drops 4 times a day; local procedures - mustard plasters on the neck and calves. Add sedatives - Afabazole; diuretics - veroshpiron, amlodipine and let mom lie down for 3-4 days.

IN as a last resort call ambulance. Or do the injections at home - the mother should know what exactly is right for her (magnesium 2-3 times, dibazol, etc.).

When the pressure returns to normal, add herbs:

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, roots to 3-5 mm. - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly. Take herbs without dosage instructions in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. Course 1.5 months, change of herbs.

Pour 100.0 grams of root crushed to a grain into 0.5 liters of vodka, leave for 14 days in a dark, cool place, shaking occasionally, strain and squeeze. Drink 25-30 drops 3 times a day, 30 minutes after meals. The course is 30 days, a break of 7 days and the course is repeated. Conduct at least 3 courses.

Keep me informed about the pressure and well-being of your wonderful mother.

Dear Liana!

I am very glad that you take care of your mother. BUT such crisis pressure at any moment can lead to vascular accident! I hope you understand which one it is. Orthosiphon in “sad solitude” will NOT lower blood pressure. Your mother needs to combine medications and herbs. For example:

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, roots to 3-5 mm. - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly. Take herbs without dosage instructions in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. The course is 2 months, with daily blood pressure monitoring; change of herbs.

2. Other medications must be selected if the prescribed ones do not work, and this is the most important thing.

3. Lifestyle optimization and nutrition is the second condition for normalizing pressure.

SUCCESS and all the best, contact us!

Hello! Yulia Evgenievna really hope to receive a recommendation from you, please tell me what herbs will be used for treatment?! I am 61 years old, Weight 71kg, Height 162cm.

I have in carotid arteries heterogeneous atherosclerotic plaques on the left size are 30%, on the right 60%. Maybe there are herbs that can dissolve plaques? Since 2010, I have been taking statins for 9 years, first Liprimar 20 mg, now I am taking Crestor 10 mg once a day at night. My biochemical analysis: ALT= 38.00 U/l; AST=23.00 U/l; GGT= 38.00 U/l; Lipoprotein (a)=0.31 g/l; Total cholesterol = 4.45 mmol/l; HDL=1.35 mmol/l; LDL=2.13 mmol/l; Triglycerides=2.57 mmol/l;

Hello Tatiana!

Let's look for the good in the bad. Thanks to statins, your lipid spectrum is normal, or very close to it. The plaque on the right is hemodynamically significant, that is, it can impair blood flow. On the right, it is acceptable.

Hello. I am 65 years old, height 154cm, weight 61kg. I get dry red patches different shapes, mainly on the arms and legs. Over the past 4 years I have seen many dermatologists. The only deviation in the tests was the presence of a high level of eosinophils in the blood of 7-8%. Tests were carried out for rheumatoid tests, immunoglobulin E, lamblia, enterobiasis (ascoridosis), and toxoplasmosis. Ultrasound done thyroid gland. Everything is within normal limits. Each doctor made his own diagnosis, including fungus, prescribed treatment, and did everything. The improvements were short-term, the itching of the skin sometimes became very severe. In August 2017 A skin biopsy was performed in two places. Histological conclusion: no evidence of psoriasis was found; Devergie's disease, eczema in the resolving stage, and pityriasisiform drug toxic reaction cannot be excluded. Based on the results of the biopsy, a diagnosis of small plaque parapsariasis was made. Treatment with courses of aerosol skin-cap, silicyl ointment, m.belosalik, ketotifen, moisturizing balms and creams. A month passes from the beginning of the outbreak to the last subsidence, then remission does not last long, no more than a month. I read that to treat parapsariasis, you can prepare an ointment with meadowsweet root. I don’t want to use hormonal ointments almost constantly, albeit in short courses. Maybe drink some herbs? Also worrying loud noise, ringing in the head, headaches. Injections and droppers provide short-term improvement. The pressure is mostly within normal limits, sometimes it increases. According to observations, headaches are not associated with blood pressure. Cholesterol is slightly elevated. Atoris 5 mg was prescribed. I want to give up statins, but nutrition is not working. What herbs can be used to improve the condition of blood vessels?

Hello, dear Love!

What prevents you from going into remission is not the quality of external remedies, but the lack of treatment internal funds. You can compare this with caring for a car, the owner of which shines the body and interior, but does not change the oil in the engine. We urgently need to add herbs:

100.0 gr. Pour 0.5 liters of vodka or cognac into the root, crushed to a grain, and leave for 14 days in a dark, cool place, shaking occasionally. Strain, squeeze. Drink 25-30 drops 3 times a day, 30 minutes after meals. The course is 30 days, a break of 7 days and the course is repeated. Conduct at least 3 courses.

3. Natural sorbents. Drink Prolifepan or Litovit M continuously for at least 2 months.

You should use creams and ointments for dry and flaky rashes. complete absence liquid in rashes or blisters.

Grind the grass and fruits of the common cocklebur into powder, mix 1:1 with an oil base (peach oil, baby cream, castor oil, chicken fat, lard)

Place in the oven at 75 degrees for 1-2 hours and stir occasionally. Store in the refrigerator but use warm 3-4 times daily.

In the same way, you can prepare an ointment with meadowsweet root.

BUT, if the skin gets wet or bubbles appear on it, only liquids in the form of lotions, compresses, or wraps are used for care.

Quitting statins is quite possible, Love, if you can keep yourself within the framework of the Orthodox mail, which began today.
