I would consider alfalfa to have some anti-inflammatory properties because it contains beneficial minerals and also chlorophyll. However, I wouldn't add it to your diet unless you like the taste of it. There are plenty of other foods with anti-inflammatory properties that are much more common. Some of these would be berries, salmon, broccoli, avocado, green tea, and there are so many more. Yes, alfalfa does have some anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially benefit your health.

Alfalfa, often consumed as sprouts in salads or by livestock, is a nutritious addition to a meal when eaten in moderation. Studies have shown that the active ingredients in alfalfa extract have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects on the body. One such study showed a reduction in the inflammation caused by nicotine.
