Alfalfa is a forage legume. Also known as lucerne in most of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Sometimes called purple medic or Chilian clover.
Botanical name: Medicago sativa
Planting: Alfalfa will completely take over any garden it is planted in. If you decide to plant alfalfa, plant it in a separate location and be very vigilant to remove any alfalfa (including the complete roots) that starts growing in your regular garden.
Medicinal tea: Leaves are prepared in a tea by infusion. Self-medication should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care. Please confirm all self-medication with your doctor or health care professional.
Cautions and contraindications: Alfalfa is considered safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Too much fresh alfalfa may lead to colic in horses. Too much alfalfa may cause Heinz-body anemia in dogs, cats, and herbivores. The seeds of alfalfa contain the toxic amino acid L-canavanine, which may cause blood disorders in humans and aminals. Only use alfalfa in prebloom stages of growth. Alfalfa may trigger allergic responses in humans and animals who are sensitive to pollens.
Safety warning: Some herbs may be poisonious under some conditions. Please learn which herbs and which parts of herbs might be poisonious or toxic at some or all of the growing cycle.
Traditionally witches gathered herbs from wild gathering and from their witch gardens. In modern times there are too many people on the planet for wild gathering to be environmentally sound. Some plants are now endangered species.
Some plants can be toxic or poisonious just by touch. Even experts can make deadly misidentifications of wild plants.
Modern witches either purchase herbs from known sources or grow thier own herbs in a witch garden (or window boxes).
