Alfalfa (Medicago
sativa)
|
|||
|
Though
alfalfa may be available in tablets or tincture, it is best used as a food in
the form of alfalfa sprouts, and has mild diuretic properties – decreasing
fluid retention. Used as a food, it may be used by women of any menopause
type®. None-the-less, since alfalfa does have mild estrogen
mimicking properties, it is especially useful for menopause types®
with estrogen deficiency. Menopause
types® that may benefit significantly by using this herb include
Menopause Types® 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 & 12. |
