Alfalfa, often called the “Father of All Foods,” is a nutrient-rich green packed with chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. Revered in both folk and modern herbal traditions, it's commonly used to gently rebuild and nourish the body, especially after periods of depletion or illness.

Benefits:

High in vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron, and protein
Supports detoxification and promotes a healthy pH balance
Naturally supports hormonal balance, especially in estrogen-related imbalances
Aids in digestion and enhances nutrient assimilation
Replenishes energy and supports tissue regeneration

Energetics:

Cooling, drying
Slightly bitter and sweet
Tonic, nutritive, and restorative to the blood and connective tissue

Contraindications: Alfalfa should be avoided in individuals with lupus or other autoimmune conditions, as it contains the amino acid L-canavanine, which may exacerbate symptoms. Due to its vitamin K content, use caution when taking blood-thinning medications. Not recommended in large doses during pregnancy.

A perfect herb for infusions and daily tonics, alfalfa is a gentle builder—ideal for those on a path of healing and restoration.
