Alfalfa Leaf Powder Cert. Organic (Medicago sativa) 1 lb: K
Frontier Alfalfa Leaf Powder Cert. Organic (Medicago sativa) 1 lb: K

This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper.

Used as an infusion, extract, dietary supplement and vegetable.

This sweet-smelling nutritive grass is one of the most nutritious foods in the world.

Alfalfa is a rich source of Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E, K, biotin, carotenes, calcium, phosphorus, choline, inositol, PABA, octacosonal, trace minerals including iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorophyll, and many other nutrients.

It is an excellent tonic for the whole body, and it may help build iron levels in blood.

Animal studies indicate that Alfalfa's saponins block cholesterol aborption and thereby prevent arterial plaque. Alfalfa's isolflavones have an estrogen-like effect, thus confirming Alfalfa's traditonal use for menopausal symptoms,

It contains natural fluoride that may help rebuild tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel.

It is a good infection fighter and and may help cleanse the body of toxins.

Alfalfa, containing eight digestive enzymes, thereby aiding the digestion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The resultant improved assimilation is helpful for gastritis, indigestion, morning sickness, and nausea. Alfalfa tea is an appetite stimulator.

Good for the pituitary gland and to help the quantity and quality of mother’s milk.

Two tablespoons of Alfalfa leaf contain:

* Twice as much calcium as an ordinary glass of milk

* Almost as much protein as one hamburger

* Nearly the same amount of iron as two ounces of liver

* Enough B-complex to soothe upset nerves

* Plenty of enzymes for good metabolism of ingested fats

* Sufficient fiber to lower high cholesterol

American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'On taking large doses of an infusion of the leaves of alfalfa as one would drink tea or coffee, there is a sensation of warmth in the stomach with fullness of the blood vessels of the head.'

'There is an increased secretion of the kidneys from this agent and in the female, of the milk glands; increased peristaltic action of the bowels; increased appetite; increased assimilation of food, and increased weight.'

'In every case so administered, the patient showed a satisfactory increase in flesh and strength. The digestive apparatus, whatever the disorder, assumed its normal function, and in some cases the patients took on a fair increase in flesh.'

'Dr. Bradley believes that a tea made of alfalfa will readily take the place of ordinary tea and coffee, and as a beverage for certain periods, he has found it to take away the taste for these commoner beverages and preserve an excellent condition of the stomach.'

'He finds in alfalfa a superlative restorative tonic, but it does not act as a stimulant, after the manner of alcohol, cocaine or other habit-forming drugs. It rejuvenates the whole system by increasing the strength, vim, vigor and vitality of the patient. In all cases, the ever-marked condition calling for the remedy is despondency, along with loss of flesh, whether the case is one of stomach trouble, such as indigestion, dyspepsia, general and nervous debility, anemia, marasmus, loss of appetite and poor assimilation, as shown by loss, of flesh and constipation, with the always accompanying condition, depression. Alfalfa, administered in the dose one or two drops in a bottle of milk three times daily, is especially useful with bottle-fed babies. One physician prescribed it where there was dropsical effusion where the kidneys were inactive, and the skin dry, and in every case so administered, it gave satisfactory results.'

'In old men, it relieves prostatic irritation. It relieves irritable conditions of the urinary apparatus.'

'Dr. Bradley reports one family where seven children had died at the age of eighteen from some undefined disorder with great emaciation. The eighth child, a daughter, exhibiting the same symptoms was kept on a tincture of alfalfa seed fully saturated, ten drops four or five times a day. The condition disappeared, the patient increased in weight from 99 to 133 pounds, and recovered her health.'

'In a concentrated form, this will be probably found nutritional, occupying in some particulars a position like that of avena, improving the functional action of the brain and spinal cord. We have introduced this remedy here because it promises well for the future, and must not be overlooked.'
