Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has a long history of use as a nourishing tonic. Traditional herbalists valued it as a “food herb” to help restore strength, vitality, and general health. Its leaves were often prepared as a tea or eaten fresh to support recovery from illness and improve nutritional status.

Current Uses:
Nutritional Support: Alfalfa is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Today, it is used as a nutrient-dense infusion to help replenish minerals and support overall wellness.

Digestive Health: Alfalfa has been used to stimulate appetite and ease digestion, supporting conditions like mild gastritis, bloating, and sluggish digestion.

Anti-inflammatory Support: The leaves contain compounds with mild anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally used to reduce discomfort from arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness.

Blood and Organ Support: Alfalfa is still regarded by herbalists as a “blood purifier,” believed to support healthy liver and kidney function, aiding in detoxification and promoting clearer skin and better overall vitality.

Hormonal Support: Due to its natural phytoestrogen content, alfalfa is used in modern herbalism to help support women experiencing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes or irregular cycles.

Diuretic: Alfalfa may gently increase urine flow, helping to relieve water retention and support urinary tract health.

Cardiovascular Health: Modern research and tradition both support the use of alfalfa to help manage cholesterol levels and maintain healthy circulation.
