Question

yes or no?

Answer 1

This what Homeopathic Medicine uses Alfalfa for, please read carefully :-

ALFALFA
Medicago Sativa, California Clover or Lucerne

>From its action on the sympathetic, Alfalfa favorably influences nutrition, evidenced in "toning up" the appetite and digestion resulting in greatly improved mental and physical vigor, with gain in weight. Disorders characterized by malnutrition are mainly within its therapeutic range, for example, neurasthenia, splanchnic blues, nervousness, insomnia, nervous indigestion, etc. Acts as a fat producer, corrects tissue waste. Deficient lactation. Increases quality and quantity of milk in nursing mothers. Its pronounced urinary action suggests it clinically in diabetes insipidus and phosphaturia; and it is claimed to allay vesical irritability of prostatic hypertrophy. The rheumatic diathesis seems especially amenable to its action.

Mind.--It induces mental exhilaration of buoyancy, i.e, a general feeling of well being; clear and bright, so that all blues are dissipated. Dull, drowsy, stupid (Gels); gloomy and irritable, worse during evening.

Head.--Dull, heavy feeling in occiput, in and above the eyes, worse toward evening. Pain in left side of head. Violent headache.

Ears.--Stuffed feeling in eustachian tubes (Kali mur) at night; patulous in morning.

Stomach.--Increased thirst. Appetite impaired, but chiefly increased even to bulimia. He must eat frequently, so that he cannot wait for regular meals; hungry in forenoon (Sul). Much nibbling of food and craving for sweets.

Abdomen.--Flatulence with distention. Shifting, flatulent pain along colon several hours after meals. Frequent, loose, yellow, painful stools, with burning of flatulence. Chronic appendicitis.

Urine.--Kidneys inactive; frequent urging to urinate. Polyuria (Phos ac). Increased elimination of urea, indican and phosphates.

Sleep.--Slept better than usual, especially in early morning; it induces quiet, reposeful and refreshing sleep.

Relationship.--Compare: Avena sat; Dipodium punct; Gels; Hydr; Kali phos; Phos ac; Zinc.

Dose.--The best results are elicited with material doses (5-10) drops of tincture, several times daily. Continue its use until tonic effects ensue.

Answer 2

All of my foster kittens are fed Innova's EVO (canned and dry) and they thrive! It is grainless, has no by-products, no glutens, no chemicals. It is packed with the nutrition that growing kittens need, and you don't have to make a switch to the adult food. Kitten food is really a marketing gimmick, and a premium food will have all the nutrition that they really need. Wellness Core followed by the Wellness canned would be my second choice, as it's also grain free. I use the EVO as my cats prefer it over the Core. The benefits are many - better health, less stink in the litter box (no grain which cats don't digest anyway), the high protein content means beautiful glossy fur. And you have the added bonus of actually paying for food that your cat can digest - why pay good money for Iams when you're really paying for a big bag of corn and by-products, and funding clever advertising campaigns? For anyone who doesn't believe that kittens can thrive on a food that's not "special kitten food" I challenge you to pick up a bag of EVO and read the nutrition content, then compare it to a bag of kitten food. You will be surprised. Amazing what we find out when we take the time to read the labels.

Answer 3

Yes...it does. They are high in live enzymes if you eat the alfalfa sprouts in the produce dept or grow them. They are very high in Choropyholl and aid in the digestion of foods. I would recommend eating them in a salad or with a high meal to aid in digestion, like with stir fry or steak and salad. If you eat them alone, they can tend to give you a tummy ache.

Answer 4

Taking Alfalfa is good for constipation, depression,CFS,IBS, indigestion. It does help you with digestion, since it contains numerous enzymes.

Answer 5

If you want to aid digestion, take bitters after eating. It helps digestion and helps the liver process toxins--
