The dried ripe seeds of Fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum, are a mainstay in Middle Eastern and South Asian cooking. The seed contains saponins, flavonoids, oils, proteins and a high amount of mucilage. It is the mucilage content that makes it good for soothing mucous membranes; especially those of the digestive tract. Fenugreek seeds are "Approved" by the German Commission E to stimulate appetite, and externally (poultice) for soothing inflammations.
Reasons For Use
Fenugreek is a nutritive and digestive tonic used where there is digestive debility and poor nutrition.
