About Alfalfa Leaf

Alfalfa leaf has a long history of traditional use in herbal systems where it was regarded as a nutritive and cleansing-style herb. In traditional contexts, it has often been included in preparations associated with urinary and liver support, as well as general internal balance.

Alfalfa is naturally rich in chlorophyll, plant proteins, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium and iron. It has also traditionally been described as an alkalizing herb, meaning it has been used in routines intended to support balance within the body.

Rather than being used for short-term or acute purposes, alfalfa leaf is most often included over time as part of steady, nourishing herbal blends.
