The benefits of fenugreek, which are equally important in Ayurveda and modern medicine, are as follows:
1. Controls Diabetes
There is no better natural medicine than fenugreek to reduce blood sugar levels. Its fiber (Galactomannan) and chemical components slow down the absorption of sugar into the blood and increase insulin production.
2. Reduces bad cholesterol
Fenugreek can help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the body. This prevents the accumulation of fat in the arteries and improves heart health.
3. Reduces obesity (Weight Loss)
Fenugreek is a boon for those who want to lose weight. The fiber it contains makes you feel full for a long time and reduces the tendency to overeat. It also increases metabolism.
4. Solution to digestive problems
Fenugreek is a great solution for those who suffer from gas, acidity, and heartburn. It regulates stomach acid levels and facilitates digestion. Fenugreek can also help relieve constipation.
5. For hair growth and skin
The protein and nicotinic acid in fenugreek help prevent hair loss and remove dandruff. It is effective in removing wrinkles on the skin and making you look younger.
6. For women’s health
Fenugreek can help reduce pain and discomfort during menstruation. In addition, fenugreek is also used as a medicine to increase milk in lactating mothers (Galactagogues).
