Medicago sativa is a growing plant that grows back every year. It is in the family Fabaceae. Alfalfa has been used as food in India, as a nutritive booster in American traditional medicine, and as a stomach aid in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our organic alfalfa powder is a healthy addition to green smoothies, mixed drinks, and plant powders. Alfalfa is often used to feed animals, but it has a long history of being used for many other things as well. It has been used as a health aid in traditional American folk medicine. The dried alfalfa leaf is often sold as a plant tea, pill, or powder in herb shops and health food stores. People often grow the seed and put it in salads or on sandwiches.

Alfalfa has flowers that look like beans and range in color from purple to yellow. It also has leaves that look like clover and a deep tap root. Some sources say that taproots that went down 68 feet into the ground have been found. Alfalfa is native to southwest Asia, and wild species can be found in the Caucasus, as well as in hilly areas of Afghanistan and Iran. It is grown all over the world, and is especially popular in the United States.

Early colonists were the first people to grow alfalfa in the United States, but it wasn't widely grown across the country until the California Gold Rush. Alfalfa makes hay that is full of nutrients and is thought to be the best plant for dairy cows to eat. It is fed to chickens and rabbits and is also used in gardening and farming on a large scale. It is a "nitrogen fixer" like many other legumes. Alfalfa not only gives people healthy nutrients, but it also helps to "heal" soil and is a good "green manure" for giving nutrients to soil that needs them.

Alfalfa was first used in TCM around 200 CE, during the Han Dynasty. It was used to help the digestive system and to make people hungry. Alfalfa was loved for its ability to calm and strengthen. It became available to Native Americans in the 1850s, and they used it as part of their treatment system. They called it "buffalo grass."

They made flour from the seeds to use in gruels and bread, and they also ate the young leaves and shoots. In India, alfalfa seeds have been used as a cooling poultice that is put on the skin. The chlorophyll in the leaves comes from the leaves, and the seeds are used to make a yellow dye. Young alfalfa leaves have been used as food in some parts of China and Russia.

Alfalfa Leaf Powder Benefits:

Alfalfa has been shown to help lower cholesterol, and it may also help manage blood sugar and relieve menstrual symptoms. People also take it because it has nutrients like vitamin K, copper, folate, and magnesium. It also has antioxidants.

◉ Cleansing and Detoxification: Alfalfa makes the body more alkaline and cleans it, especially the liver. Alfalfa has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for the liver, especially vitamin K, which is stored in the liver and other fatty organs. This important fat-soluble vitamin is found in alfalfa in very high amounts. It goes straight to your liver, where it helps keep your blood from clotting too much. Alfalfa is in almost every recipe for a drink that cleans the liver, and for good reason.

◉ Digestive Health: The key to good health is a gut system that works well. Here, nutrients are taken in or thrown out, and the food we eat is turned into the all-important energy that keeps the body going. Alfalfa helps stomach health in many ways. First, it has a lot of "pre-biotics" called "fructo-oligosaccharides" that feed the good bacteria (called "pro-biotics") in the gut. This will help get rid of harmful bugs like Candida, which can cause a lot of health problems.

Alfalfa has a lot of enzymes that help process food. These enzymes break down the different parts of food. Amylase breaks down sugar, starch, and carbs. Lipase does the same for fat, and protase does the same for protein molecules.

This simple grass is full of potassium, and the nutrients it has can do wonders for your gut health. Potassium is an important element that helps the body get rid of water retention. This not only aids in digestion but also lessens swelling brought on by water retention. When potassium is mixed with the minerals in alfalfa, it acts as a diuretic and helps regulate digestion, especially for people who have trouble going to the bathroom.

◉ Lower Cholesterol: Saponins from plants make it harder for the gut to take in cholesterol. Getting rid of "bad" LDL cholesterol can make you less likely to get heart disease, diabetes, or a stroke.

◉ Healthy Urinary Tract: Alfalfa is a natural diuretic that makes you pee more. This can help get rid of dangerous germs. Even though it's not a proven way to treat a urinary tract infection that's already there, it may help stop one from happening.
