An Alfalfa history.
Alfalfa leaf is known for being good for you. This flowering plant comes from the pea family and is grown all over the world. In American folk herbalism, Medicago sativa has been used as a health tonic, as food in India, and as a digestive aid in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Organic alfalfa leaves from our farm can be made into alfalfa tea, added to herbal vinegar, or used in soups and stews.
Alfalfa is often used to feed animals, but it has a long history of being used for many other things as well. It has been used as a health tonic in traditional American folk medicine. The dried alfalfa leaf is often sold as an herbal tea, tablet, or powder in herb shops and health food stores. People often sprout the seed and put it in salads or on sandwiches.
Alfalfa has flowers that look like beans and range in color from purple to yellow. It also has leaves that look like clover and a deep tap root. Some sources say that taproots that went down 68 feet into the ground have been found.
Alfalfa is native to southwest Asia, and wild species can be found in the Caucasus, as well as in mountainous areas of Afghanistan and Iran. It is grown all over the world and is especially popular in the United States.
Early colonists were the first people to grow alfalfa in the United States, but it wasn’t widely grown across the country until the California Gold Rush. Alfalfa makes hay that is full of nutrients and is thought to be the best plant for dairy cows to eat.
It is fed to chickens and rabbits and is also used in gardening and farming on a large scale. Like many legumes, it is a “nitrogen fixer.” Alfalfa not only gives people healthy nutrients, but it also helps to “heal” soil and is a good “green manure” for giving nutrients to the soil that needs them.
Alfalfa was first used in TCM around 200 CE, during the Han Dynasty. It was used to help the digestive system and to make people hungry. Alfalfa was loved for its ability to calm and strengthen. It became available to Native Americans in the 1850s, and they used it as part of their healing system.
They called it “Buffalo grass.” They made flour from the seeds to use in gruels and bread, and they also ate the young leaves and shoots. In India, alfalfa seeds have been used as a cooling poultice that is put on the skin. The chlorophyll in the leaves comes from the leaves, and the seeds are used to make a yellow dye. Young alfalfa leaves have been used as a vegetable in some parts of China and Russia.
