Alfalfa

Alfalfa Leaf Tea: Alfalfa contains phytoestrogens that mimic estrogen and may help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. I (Friday Gladheart) have had some success with a tea made of red clover blossoms, peppermint, and alfalfa, but my experiences may not be the same as yours. There are only limited studies on alfalfa for this use, and you should consult healthcare providers before using alfalfa for this purpose.

Cautions: Sprouted seeds can easily be contaminated with Salmonella and E. coli. Seeds may interfere with some medications. Limit use if you are taking warfarin, contraceptive pills, or hormones.
