Alfalfa leaves are POSSIBLY SAFE for most adults. However, taking alfalfa seeds long-term is LIKELY UNSAFE. Alfalfa seed products may cause reactions that are similar to the autoimmune disease called lupus erythematosus. Alfalfa might also cause some people's skin to become extra sensitive to the sun. Wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned.
What is a Pulmonologist? A pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in the treatment of the lungs and respiratory tract. Pulmonologists treat diseases of the chest such as pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, chest infections, and more.
The doctor will listen to your heart and lungs; check your eyes, ears, and throat; and make sure everything is working right on the inside and outside of your body. If you are sick or in pain, the doctor will examine you to figure out what is wrong. Sometimes he or she will perform special tests to learn more about what is happening in your body. Then, he or she will make a treatment plan to help you get better. Grown-ups visit the doctor, just like children do. Children often see a doctor called a pediatrician. A pediatrician is a special kind of doctor who takes care of children and works with parents to keep kids healthy.
