    HI,

    I recently read an article about fenugreek seeds and its amazing properties to heal many disorders/deficiencies. One of them being lowering cholestrol and many other. However, I am not very clear about how and how much to consume it on a daily basis, if I want to add this to my routine. Also, what are the other benefits other than consuming them, like for hair/skin?

    Hope somebody has the answers!

    Thanks
    Anu

    Fenugreek seeds are good for type 1 and type 2 diabetics. It also cures stomach disorders if consumed in a small quantity. It is a good conditioner for hair. My mom mixes a handful of the seeds while grinding shikakai powder. It is also good for curing minor skin problems like wounds. It has got fibre and is cool for the body during summer season. Kasuri methi the dried form of fenugreek leaves is a flavour enhancer. It can be added to curries.

    Hi anu333, Welcome to IL Health Forum.

    Yes the fenugreek or methi seeds has lot of good properties.

    It is also used to cool down the body temperature during summer season. Just soak them overnight. Next morning, mix in some curd and honey. Have it in empty stomach.

    It is also used for softening the hair and for treating dandruff.
