Known as "King of Plants", Alfalfa and its roots have been used for centuries in many cultures. Native to the Mediterranean region, the plant also grows very well throughout North America and western Asia. Alfalfa is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, proteins and fats. It is especially rich in the amino acid trypophane, vitamins A, D and K, and iron. Alfalfa is considered to be a very nutritious herb.

Ancient Chinese doctors used Alfalfa to increase appetite and to help poor digestion. Ayurvedic doctors believed it could help relieve certain types of ulcers and reduce the inflammation due to arthritis and rheumatism.

High cholesterol is linked to heart disease and stroke. Through animal studies, researchers have learned that, when taken in certain dosages, Alfalfa leaves help decrease cholesterol levels. Although animal studies are not always representative of humans, there is evidence which indicates that consuming large quantities of Alfalfa may also help to decrease the level of cholesterol in some people.

Although not proven, modern herbalists still suggest Alfalfa’s use in relieving constipation and water retention. And, it is still commonly used today to help relieve the discomforts of various arthritic conditions.
