From Hispanic Arabic, alfalfa<\/strong> is a term that, according to Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>), is used with reference to the dogfish<\/strong> cultivated for the purpose of forage<\/strong>. Understanding the notion, therefore, requires knowing what dogfish and forage are.<\/p>\n

\"Alfalfa\"Mielga is a herbaceous plant, while forage is the grass, herbs or cereals with which livestock are fed. This allows us to infer that alfalfa is a food<\/strong> what do the animals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200balfalfa often refers to the Medicago sativa<\/strong>, a plant that is part of the family group of the legumes<\/strong> or Fabaceae<\/strong>. Due to its resistance to drought and its ease of cultivation, alfalfa is grown throughout the world<\/strong> for livestock to feed.<\/p>\n

Alfalfa, in its leaves and in its shoots, has several vitamins (A, C, D, E and others), iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and others nutritive substances<\/strong>. The plant, on the other hand, can be attacked by weevils, bedbugs and other pests, as well as being susceptible to various diseases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Medicago polymorpha<\/strong> (rainfed alfalfa<\/strong>), the Medicago arborea<\/strong> (arboreal alfalfa<\/strong>) and the Medicago falcata<\/strong> (yellow alfalfa<\/strong>) are others species<\/strong> alfalfa. There are even plants that do not belong to the genus Medicago and are also known as alfalfa anyway: the Euphorbia peplis<\/strong> (apothecary alfalfa<\/strong>), the Kochia scoparia<\/strong> (Creole alfalfa<\/strong>), the Galega officinalis<\/strong> (Galician alfalfa<\/strong> or english<\/strong>), etc.<\/p>\n

Although traditionally alfalfa has been associated only with certain animals that used it as their main sustenance, the truth is that it is much more. Specifically, since ancient times it has also been used as a medicinal resource thanks to the set of beneficial properties it has for health. Thus, it is determined that it is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hemorrhagic, antipyretic and great for relieving certain stomach ailments.<\/p>\n

At present, through sprouts that are thrown into salads or even through natural pills or infusions, it is common for alfalfa to be found and used within the diet. In any of these ways it is used for the benefits it allows you to enjoy:
-It is considered that taking an infusion of this product after each meal will significantly help digestions to be less heavy.
