Alfalfa also contains isoflavones and coumarins, which are estrogenic and therefore can be beneficial for problems relating to menstruation and menopause.

Evidence of this can be seen in societies such as the centenarian tribes that live in remote villages in the Andes Mountains and who still embrace traditional dietary practices. These people have been reported to live extraordinarily long lives that are free of such illnesses as cancer, heart disease and arthritis.
