ALFALFA
Alfalfa can be used to help bruising, excess bleeding, body odour and more...
Alfalfa is root that can grow over 100feet into the earth. Its deep roots allow it to concentrate many different types of vitamins and minerals from the soil. It is used medicinally as general tonic or, supporter of the body, due to its reputation as a good balanced source of vitamins and minerals.
The word “alfalfa” comes from the Arabic phrase, al-fac-facah, meaning “father of all foods.” The reason for this name is, alfalfa is extremely nutritious. Alfalfa contains so many essential vitamins and minerals including: A, D, E, K and all the B vitamins, biotin, calcium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium and much more. It has numerous health benefits from helping reduce arthritis pain and lowering cholesterol to treat menopause symptoms and increase immune functions.
It has been shown to decrease cholesterol by inhibiting intestinal absorption and to reduce atherosclerotic or plaque build-up in arteries. Alfalfa contains a significant amount of vitamin K and other chemicals that thin the blood. In one study with 15 patients taking alfalfa seed preparation for 8 weeks, without changing diet or exercise level resulted in a 17% reduction in cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
The isoflavones in alfalfa are similar to those that are found in soy and red clover. Alfalfa is also an excellent source of phytoestrogens. Research has shown that phytoestrogens regulate and stabilize the effects of estrogen in the body. These substances have proven useful in the treatment of menopause and menstrual discomforts including hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, dryness of vagina, and loss of libido.
The chlorophyll, green pigment, in alfalfa aids the healing of intestinal ulcers, hemorrhoids, bleeding gums, burns and infections. Chlorophyll induces detoxification of the body and decreases halitosis and body odour.
Alfalfa can be used as a raw sprouts, seeds, dried herb or liquid extract. The raw herb can be found as a powder or compressed into tablets. Fresh alfalfa should be well washed and checked for molds before being consumed. The liquid extract contains a significant amount of chlorophyll.
The use of alfalfa is contraindicated for those with lupus. There are possible interactions between alfalfa and blood thinners, hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives. Alfalfa tea has been historically used as a nutritious tonic in pregnancy but one should exercise caution because of the hormonal properties of alfalfa.
