Alfalfa

Referred to as the “father of all foods,” Alfalfa derives its name and meaning from the Middle East. Alfalfa has been used in herbal medicine for the past 1500 years. It is rich in Vitamins A, C, E, and K4, as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. It is a high fibrous plant and its roots stretch deep down, making it resilient against droughts. It has been used in Asian medicine to treat digestive disorders, kidney disorders, and water retention problems. Combining a significant number of the vital vitamins and nutrients we need every day, Alfalfa can help prevent nutritional deficiencies and keep our bodies in working order. Moreover, its antioxidant capabilities are important in keeping our systems clean and in optimal shape.
