'''Time to become home doctor using Fenugreek''' | |||
*Source:https://www.ibcworldnews.com/2016/01/25/time-to-become-home-doctor-using-fenugreek/ | |||
:(IBC News Bureau) | |||
Fenugreek is one of the oldest cultivated medicinal plants native to southern Europe | |||
and Asia. The name itself has an exotic ring, and it should, as widely traveled as it is. | |||
A very popular plant grown throughout Mediterranean regions, Argentina, North Africa, France, India. | |||
Here are some remedies for which this can be used. | |||
:TREATING DIABETES AND LOWERING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS: | |||
Studies have shown that participants with type 2 diabetes had significantly | |||
lower blood sugar levels after eating fenugreek seeds. Therefore, a recommended home | |||
remedy for treating Type 2 diabetes is to consume 500mg of fenugreek seed twice daily. | |||
:HOME REMEDY FOR FEVER: | |||
The Fenugreek herb has been known to help reduce fever when taken with lemon and honey, | |||
since it nourishes the body during an illness. Therefore, to treat a fever, | |||
simply consume one to two teaspoons of Fenugreek seeds three times a day along with | |||
an herbal tea (such as green tea) with a teaspoon of honey and lemon juice. Some health | |||
food stores also sell herbal Fenugreek teas, which can be used instead of the green tea. | |||
:REMEDY TO EASE CHILD BIRTH FOR PREGNANT WOMEN: | |||
Fenugreek stimulates uterine contractions and can be helpful to induce childbirth. | |||
However, pregnant women should only use this remedy for inducing labor after consulting | |||
with their doctor. | |||
Helps you lose weight: | |||
Include fenugreek in your weight loss diet by chewing soaked methi seeds in the morning | |||
on an empty stomach. The natural soluble fiber in the fenugreek can swell and fill the | |||
stomach thereby suppressing your appetite and aiding your weight loss goals. | |||
Remedy for fever and sore throat: | |||
Fenugreek when taken with a teaspoon of lemon and honey can work wonders to reduce fever | |||
by nourishing the body. The soothing effect of mucilage in fenugreek also helps to | |||
relieve cough and pain from sore throat. Here are 5 foods to relieve sore throat. | |||
Helps reduce menstrual discomfort: | |||
Fenugreek contains compounds like diosgenin and isoflavones with oestrogen-like | |||
properties which help reduce symptoms like discomfort and menstrual cramps associated | |||
with PMS. These compounds also ease menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and mood | |||
fluctuations. Women are more prone to iron deficiency during adolescence (initiation | |||
of menstrual periods), during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Including green leafy veggies | |||
like fenugreek (methi) in your diet can supply a good amount of iron. But make sure to | |||
add tomatoes or potatoes to the preparations to enhance the iron absorption. | |||
Helps soothe skin inflammation and reduces scars: | |||
While Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, fenugreek also contains anti-inflammatory | |||
compounds that aid in the treatment of various skin problems like burns, boils and eczema. | |||
The seeds are known to help in getting rid of scars. All you need to do is apply a clean cloth | |||
soaked in methi seed paste to fight skin inflammation. | |||
