What Is Alfalfa—and Why Do People Use It?

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a nutrient-dense herb rich in chlorophyll, minerals, and plant antioxidants. In traditional wellness routines, it’s used as a gentle diuretic and “depurative” to support urinary flow and overall balance. Many people explore alfalfa to support kidney comfort and help with uric-acid balance alongside a healthy diet, hydration, and medical care for gout.

Potential Wellness Benefits (Why it may feel helpful)

Urinary comfort & flow: mild diuretic effect supports hydration and elimination
Uric-acid balance: paired with water intake and diet changes, may help reduce excess urates
Bloat & puffiness: supports fluid balance
Soothing joints: botanicals with antioxidants may complement anti-inflammatory routines
Everyday vitality: minerals (magnesium, potassium), vitamins (A, C, K) and chlorophyll support overall wellness

Important: Results vary. Use alfalfa as support, not a replacement for medical treatment, especially in diagnosed kidney disease or acute gout flares.
