Alfalfa Hay
The Alfalfa Plant
(medicago sativa)
The Alfalfa plant is an important forage and hay crop for all kinds of animals. The Medes of ancient Persia where thought to have been the first to domesticate the Alfalfa plant. The Latin name medicago sativa means "sowed by the Medians" The Greeks planted the Alfalfa as early as 490 B C .The Arabs liked it so much that they named it al-fasfasah, best fodder. They fed the Alfalfa to their horses for excellent speed and strength but also used the Alfalfa leaves, sprouts and seed for themselves.
The Spanish Settlers brought the Alfalfa plant to Mexico and Chile and called it Chilean Clover. At this time there is no scientific evidence that it will benefit any ailment. But Alfalfa has a future in the human nutrition. It is an inexpensive source of vitamin A, D, E, and K, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, and Iron..The Vitamin K in the Alfalfa is a blood clotting agent. The herbalists of today treat Arterioclerosis, (loss of elasticity of the artery walls) high Cholesterol and Diabetics with the Alfalfa plant.

The Alfalfa plant cleanses toxins from the tissues, is an diuretic and improves circulation. If you have to take antibiotics , taking the Alfalfa tablets or Extract will restore the level of vitamin K, which depletes when taking antibiotics. The Alfalfa plant helps people with drug and alcohol dependency, since it alkalizes the body with the detoxification. In a study on the Alfalfa Extract,, it showed an increase in the production of white blood cells, which is your first line of defense against infection. After the treatment of chemotherapy, the Extract of the Alfalfa helps reverse the immune suppression caused by the treatment.
The Alfalfa plant is estrogenic, if you need to produce more milk for breast feeding, add some Alfalfa sprouts to your salad., but people with Lupus should stay away from the Alfalfa plant Coming from a dairy farm I can vouch for the increase of milk production in the dairy cows after feeding them some good green Alfalfa hay. If you need a quick pick-me-up, take a handful of organic Alfalfa, wash it and put it into a blender with one cup of water. Swirl it around, then strain it through a fine sieve and drink it. Wow!

About the Author
After 36 years of farming and my husband passed away from on brain tumor I got more interested in the Alternative medicine. I still think combining the modern medicine with alternative healing would be beneficial to any patient, Maybe some day it will happen.
