The Elixir of Youth – Clover! Improves Memory, Vision, Arthritis, and Asthma Relief
For most of my life, I associated clover simply with being a pleasant, unassuming plant growing in fields or meadows. However, after years of working in the field of herbal medicine, my perspective on this humble plant changed completely. As I began to explore its medicinal potential, I discovered that clover possesses a remarkable array of healing properties—some of which are even life-changing. From supporting cognitive health to easing respiratory ailments, clover truly deserves to be called a natural elixir of youth.
A Powerful Ally for Brain and Nerve Health
One of the most surprising benefits of clover is its effectiveness in treating tinnitus, a condition often caused by vascular issues in the brain. This symptom—commonly experienced as a persistent ringing in the ears—is frequently linked to cerebral atherosclerosis, reduced memory, blurred vision, depression, and unexplained mood swings. Regular use of clover extract can significantly reduce these symptoms, especially when paired with other holistic treatments.
Moreover, clover juice or infusion helps in relieving chronic headaches, enhances cognitive function, and supports nerve regeneration, making it ideal for people experiencing mental fatigue or age-related cognitive decline.
Forms of Clover Used in Healing
Clover can be used fresh or dried, in the form of juice, tincture, or herbal infusion. All types of clover are suitable for preparing juice. During the flowering season, the plant’s tops are harvested and pressed to extract juice.
To preserve the juice, one part vodka is mixed with one-third of the juice volume and stored in glass jars. However, if you’re harvesting during clover’s flowering season and plan to begin treatment right away, using freshly pressed juice is ideal.
To make clover juice at home:
Process the fresh plant material (flowers and leaves) in a blender or meat grinder until it forms a pulp.
Add 1 cup of room-temperature water to 4–5 tablespoons of this mixture.
Stir continuously for 10–15 minutes, then strain the liquid.
Drink the resulting juice as directed. For general treatment, the recommended course is 1.5 to 2 months.
Preventive and Curative Uses
For atherosclerosis prevention, take 1–2 tablespoons of clover juice daily. It strengthens blood vessels, boosts circulation, and improves mental clarity.
In more active therapeutic scenarios, clover juice has the power to:
Relieve tinnitus and migraines
Improve vision and memory
Reduce symptoms of depression and neurosis
Help regulate mood swings and emotional instability
Assist in managing menopause symptoms
Reduce fevers and soothe cold-related symptoms
Ease coughing and support healing in bronchitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia
Support respiratory detoxification, especially in tuberculosis
The dosage in such cases is typically 1 tablespoon, 3–7 times a day, taken 30 minutes before meals. It’s important to continue treatment for at least 7–10 days even after symptoms disappear.
Women’s Health and Hormonal Balance
Clover juice can be particularly beneficial for women suffering from:
Painful or irregular menstruation
Uterine bleeding
Anemia
When used in combination with other prescribed treatments, clover juice supports hormonal balance and replenishes vital nutrients. In such cases, 3–5 tablespoons daily are recommended over 1 to 1.5 months. Regular gynecological monitoring is advised during this period.
Benefits for Seniors and Cardiovascular Support
For elderly individuals, clover juice can be a gentle yet effective way to strengthen the heart muscle and reduce leg swelling, often caused by poor circulation or fluid retention. A dose of 1 teaspoon, 5–7 times per day for 3–4 weeks is usually sufficient.
Allergies, Asthma, and Skin Conditions
Surprisingly, very few people are aware that clover can alleviate various allergic conditions, including:
Allergic dermatitis
Quincke’s edema
Hay fever
Bronchial asthma
Treatment should start with a small dose (1–2 tablespoons diluted in 100 ml of water), gradually increasing daily until reaching 3–5 doses per day. In acute cases, start with 3–4 tablespoons per day, and increase up to 5–7 times daily, depending on tolerance and need. Once symptoms improve, reduce the dose gradually.
Take the juice 20–30 minutes before meals and always before bedtime. A full course lasts 1.5–2 months. During this treatment, it’s beneficial to combine clover juice with enterosgel (a detoxifying agent) and calcium gluconate to support immune and nervous system balance.
In cases of poisoning by fungi, gas exposure, or heavy metal salts, the same intensive treatment method is recommended.
Complex Diseases: Joint Inflammation, Cystitis, and Cancer
Clover juice also plays a significant role in treating chronic conditions such as:
Polyarthritis
Rheumatism
Chronic cystitis
Cancer (as part of complex therapy)
In such cases, patients should take 3–5 tablespoons per day, along with relevant prescribed medications. The effectiveness increases when clover is mixed with other medicinal herbs such as celandine, calamus, St. John’s wort, sea buckthorn, yarrow, sophora, and plantain.
Diabetes Management
Clover juice, when combined with juices of galega, dandelion, walnut, nettle, and tribulus, helps regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. However, it is crucial to:
Stick to a diabetic-friendly diet
Incorporate mild physical activity
Continue taking anti-diabetic medications as prescribed
Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential during this treatment.
Contraindications and Cautions
While clover is remarkably beneficial, it is not suitable for everyone. Avoid using clover preparations if you experience:
Stomach pain
Diarrhea
People with a history of stroke, heart disease, or tendency toward thrombophlebitis should not use clover without medical supervision. It can also increase stomach acidity, so those with gastritis or stomach/duodenal ulcers should be cautious.
Importantly, pregnant women should avoid clover products altogether.
Final Thoughts
Clover is far more than a simple field plant—it’s a botanical powerhouse packed with therapeutic potential. Whether you’re seeking to boost your memory, balance your hormones, clear your lungs, or protect your heart, clover may be the natural solution you’ve been looking for. As always, consult a healthcare professional before beginning any new herbal treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or take prescription medications.
