Cholesterol & Blood Sugar Aid (Medicago Sativa) 2oz Tincture

Alfalfa is a very nutritious and useful plant to have around. You can eat it as a food source; it was also used by early humans as early as 1300 B.C as nutrition and to presumably help support normal cholesterol and blood sugar.*

Ingrediants: Medicago sativa, and menstrum

Description :

Medicago sativa, is a perennial flowering plant in the Legume (pea) family. It grows from a base that is partially embedded in the top of the soid to between 1 and 3 feet tall. Groups of three compound leaves grow from single stems that branch from the main stalk. Purple flowers grow from separate stems. The ripe fruit is black or brown and contains several yellow seeds.The root of the alfalfa plant reaches deep into the soil, allowing the plant to extract a wide range of micro-minerals and other nutrients from deep in the ground. Internally, Alfalfa was used before modern medicine to help lower blood sugar, help lower serum cholesterol, help treat anemia, and provide high-powered nutrition. None of that has been verified by the FDA.

History and Folklore:

Alfalfa has been used as a food for both humans and livestock since at least 1300 B.C. Today, it is the third most valuable crop in the US after corn and soybeans. Because of its ability to trap nitrogen from the air, alfalfa makes a good ground cover or rotation crop, both of which help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Some stories also indicate it can restore grey hair back to its natural color.

Cultivation and Harvest:

Harvest the areal parts of the plant (stems, leaves, and flowers) when the plant just starts to flower. Dry the harvested material for use as powder, teas, tinctures, and extracts. The leaves can be eaten fresh as a part of a salad or soup.

Precautions:

Do not use with blood thinners or diabetes medication.
