Medicinal Properties of Fenugreek

Fenugreek has been used as a home remedy to treat a number of ailments ranging from stomach ache, arresting hair fall, increase virility, general tonic etc.

Fenugreek of late has drawn the attention of the medical world for its anti-diabetic properties. It is available in capsule form in many health food stores.

It can
  1. Pacify heat.
  2. Stop diarrhea.
  3. Soften skin
  4. Cure cough.
  5. Cure mouth ulcers.

The list goes on and on. My other blog on Siddha Home Remedies lists some of the home remedies that can be made using fenugreek to cure many ailments.

Sorry for the delay Jennifer. Fenugreek paste can be used as a cosmetic to make skin soft and clean. I have to scour my notes for a more detailed method of preparation. I will post it later.
