See policiesOrganic dried Alfalfa leaf (Medicago sativa)
Alfalfa leaf (Medicago sativa) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Asia, but it’s widely cultivated throughout the world. The leaves of the alfalfa plant are trifoliate, meaning they have three leaflets, and they are commonly used for their nutritional and medicinal properties. Alfalfa leaf is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a popular dietary supplement. It is often consumed as a tea, added to salads, or taken in the form of capsules or extracts. In traditional herbal medicine, alfalfa leaf is used to support overall health and well-being, aid digestion, promote kidney health, and alleviate symptoms of menopause.
In magical practices, alfalfa leaf is associated with abundance, prosperity, and fertility. It is used in rituals and spells to attract wealth, promote growth, and enhance fertility. Additionally, alfalfa leaf can be carried in sachets or placed in charm bags to attract good fortune and prosperity.

- Hormonal Effects: Alfalfa contains phytoestrogens, which could potentially affect hormone levels. Individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions should consult a healthcare provider.
- Blood Sugar Levels: Alfalfa may lower blood sugar levels, so those with diabetes should monitor their levels closely and consult a healthcare professional before use.
- Lupus: Alfalfa can stimulate the immune system, which may be problematic for individuals with autoimmune diseases like lupus.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While generally considered safe in food amounts, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider before using alfalfa supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Drug Interactions: Alfalfa may interact with certain medications, including anticoagulants and diabetes medications. Consult a healthcare provider if you’re on such medications.
