Benefits and uses:
The word “alfalfa” comes from the Arabic phrase "al-fac-facah" meaning “father of all foods”. This extremely nutritious food dates back to at least 6,000 years ago, with remains of the alfalfa leaf found in Ancient Persian ruins from around this time. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, alfalfa leaves are used to stimulate appetite and relieve ulcers. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine the alfalfa leaf is used to relieve water retention, arthritis and ulcers.
With an extensive root system that can reach as far as 60 feet underground, alfalfa has the ability to absorb minerals that are not available in the surface soil, as well as higher quantities of vitamins and minerals than your typical plant.
