Alfalfa is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. (A, C, E, K, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and iron.) These high levels give Alfalfa a wide range of uses. It is thought to reduce blood cholesterol levels and has documented hypoglycaemic action for some people with blood sugar control problems. Also used as an appetite stimulant and thought to alleviating menopausal problems in older women.
Brewing: Use one teaspoon of herbs for each cup. Add boiling water to plunger/teaball or teapot. Let the herbs infuse for at least 5 minutes to ensure all the goodness is released. Add honey or lemon as desired.
