Fenugreek
2 oz.
Fenugreek is a plant that is commonly used as a spice in cooking and as a traditional herbal remedy. Some potential benefits of consuming fenugreek may include:
Improved digestion: Fenugreek is high in fiber, which can help promote regular bowel movements and improve digestive health.
Lower blood sugar levels: Fenugreek has been shown to have blood sugar-lowering effects and may be beneficial for people with diabetes.
Increased milk production: Fenugreek is often used as a galactagogue, meaning it may help increase milk production in breastfeeding mothers.
Improved heart health: Fenugreek contains compounds that may help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health.
Reduced inflammation: Fenugreek has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Directions: add one teaspoon of fenugreek to hot water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy.
FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
