Alfalfa has been used in treating digestive problems, helping to stimulate milk in nursing mothers, and as a helping aid for those suffering from constipation. Experts recommend between 500 to 1,000 mg of the dried leaf daily or 1 to 2 ml of tincture. There have, however, been isolated reports of problems associated with allergic reaction to alfalfa. Also, ingestion of very large amounts of alfalfa (the equivalent of several servings of the seeds or sprouts) has been linked to the onset of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, an autoimmune illness characterized by inflamed joints & potential kidney damage.
