Red Clover
Another home remedy that shows promise in managing night sweats and hot flashes is red clover. It is from the bean family and eaten as a legume. It is used in supplements for female health, according to trusted sources.
Red clover is a wild plant with dark pink flowers from the bean family, which grows in several areas, including northern Africa, central Asia, and Europe. People use the edible flowers to extract essential oils. Red clover contains phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogen. In traditional medicine, it is a remedy for arthritis, whooping cough, and asthma, aside from managing the symptoms of menopause.
Red clover is already a subject of many clinical trials. A systematic review of more than ten clinical trials shows that it could be effective in reducing the frequency of severe hot flashes. It could also help improve the vaginal wall’s drying and thinning. However, there was also a review stating that the extract from red clover was ineffective as a remedy for hot flashes.
Despite these findings, several women said that red clover extract helped in the management of hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause.
