Traditionally, alfalfa was widely used in the treatment of respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis, the flu, and the common cold, as well as other viral and bacterial infections. Alfalfa has inflammation-reducing properties, which made it useful in treating various breathing conditions, such as asthma, while also strengthening the immune system to neutralize the underlying infections attacking the respiratory tracts.*

Potassium and iron are both found in significant supply within alfalfa, and these benefit the heart in different ways. Potassium is a vasodilator, which helps to lower blood pressure by releasing the tension on blood vessels and arteries. Furthermore, the iron content of these sprouts boosts red blood cell production, thus improving circulation and ensuring that the body’s organ systems are properly oxygenated. This puts less strain on the heart because the extremities will be demanding less blood and oxygen from an already overworked heart.*

Alfalfa has been widely used around the world in the treatment of kidney conditions, namely due to its diuretic properties. By stimulating more frequent urination, alfalfa can speed up the detoxification of the body, along with excess salts, fats, and water.*

With a high content of vitamin C, this sprout is an ideal booster for your immune system. Vitamin C not only stimulates the production of white blood cells but also acts as an antioxidant to eliminate oxidative stress. Furthermore, B vitamins and vitamin E also act as metabolic regulators and antioxidant compounds throughout the body, and both of those are also found in this unassuming sprout.*

Suggested Use: Shake well. Over 12 years of age, add 1-2 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water, a cup of tea, or take straight into the mouth or under the tongue. Use up to 3 times daily as needed. To evaporate the alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.

Precautions: The University of Michigan asserts that there are no known contraindications to date, with the exception of consuming very large amounts. The dosage generally considered safe is 500-1,000 mg of the dried leaf per day or 1-2 ml of tincture three times daily.
