The alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa) should be the first herb you think of when you think arthritis. The Arabs first discovered alfalfa’s beneficial uses and referred to it as the Father of All Foods. Alfalfa is very rich in organic minerals: Its deep roots penetrate the earth and find the minerals it needs to thrive; in turn, it provides us with generous amounts of minerals and vitamins when we consume it. Your dosage will vary depending on how minerally deficient you are; start with the dose recommended on the bottle and work your way up. You can take plenty of alfalfa without doing any harm.
Alfalfa has been used to neutralize uric acid in the body (arthritis sufferers are commonly over-acidic in body chemistry due to weakened digestion). In addition, alfalfa seems to prevent cholesterol accumulation in the veins, cleans deep in the cells, provides enzymes for better digestion and assimilation, rebuilds decayed teeth, and helps relieve pain and inflammation. What a helpful little rascal alfalfa turns out to be!
