ALFALFA was first discovered by the Arabs, who named it the father of all foods as it is one of the most complete foods there is. It is more nutritious than almost any other herb, contains many important enzymes, proteins, minerals, vitamins and has been used for food and medicine for thousands of years. LIFE QUEST HERBS' ALFALFA cleans, builds and strengthens the body and rebuilds decayed teeth. The alkaloid in the leaves strengthens the central nervous system, helps prevent cholesterol accumulation in the veins, helps chemical imbalance and neutralizes uric acid, just to mention a few of its many attributes. It has been found helpful for numerous conditions, including arthritis, ulcers, high blood pressure, constipation, infections, asthma, allergies, anemia and many others.

ALFALFA has very deep roots, commonly growing to 60 or 80 feet deep and some ALFALFA roots have even been found more than 100 feet deep. This is why it is so rich in minerals. Much of our soil has been seriously depleted by using agricultural chemicals and the surface of the soil no longer is rich in minerals as it used to be, so it is difficult to get the minerals we need in our food. Trace mineral deficiency can act to impair hereditary transmission, as shown by the abnormalcies that are becoming more common. The ability of nutritional deficiencies to affect genetics via soil depletion, over processed foods, too much sugar and bad fats were first recognized in the 1930's. Nature has been making normal birds, butterflies and animals for millions of years. If wild animals can do it, whey can't we? It is because they, by their instinct, select the right foods and do not meddle with nature's food by changing it? The condition of any civilization's soil is crucial to their health and their very existence.
