Fenugreek is a plant. The seeds are used to make medicine.

Fenugreek is used for many conditions, but so far, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.

Fenugreek is used for digestive problems such as loss of appetite, upset stomach,constipation, and inflammation of the stomach (gastritis). It is also used for conditions that affect heart health such as “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis) and for high blood levels of certain fats including cholesterol andtriglycerides

Uses

Clinical data from very small studies suggest the use of fenugreek for cholesterol lowering. It is used as a flavoring in Indian and Asian cookery, and in folk medicine for the treatment of boils, cellulitis, and tuberculosis, and for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects.
