Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
Other Common Names: Methi (Ayurveda), Greek Hay, Bird’s Foot
Family: Fabaceae (Pea/Bean)
Parts Used: Seeds
Energetics: Warming, moistening
Taste: Bitter, slightly sweet, nutty
A Strengthening Herb for Digestion, Hormonal Balance & Metabolism
Fenugreek seed is a nourishing, aromatic herb widely used in Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Mediterranean herbalism for its blood sugar-regulating, digestive-supporting, and hormone-balancing properties. Rich in saponins, fiber, and alkaloids, fenugreek has been traditionally used to support lactation, improve digestion, and enhance metabolic health.
Key Benefits & Uses
Fenugreek seed is valued for its carminative, expectorant, and hormone-modulating properties, making it a trusted botanical for:
✔️ Digestive health: Soothes acid reflux, bloating, and constipation while promoting gut health
✔️ Blood sugar regulation: Traditionally used to support glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
✔️ Hormonal & reproductive health: Supports estrogenic activity, menstrual balance, and libido
✔️ Lactation support: A well-known galactagogue to enhance breast milk production
✔️ Metabolic & cardiovascular health: May help regulate cholesterol and lipid levels
✔️ Respiratory support: Helps clear excess mucus and soothe sore throats
How to Use
🌿 Tea/Infusion: Steep crushed fenugreek seeds for digestion and metabolic support
🌿 Tincture: A concentrated extract for blood sugar and hormonal balance
🌿 Culinary Use: Add to curries, soups, or herbal spice blends for a warming, nutty flavor
🌿 Sprouted Seeds: Use in salads or smoothies for enhanced nutritional benefits
🌿 Topical Use: Infuse in oil for hair growth or make a paste for skin nourishment
Sustainability & Sourcing

Safety & Considerations
⚠️ May have estrogenic effects—those with hormone-sensitive conditions should consult a healthcare provider before use
⚠️ May lower blood sugar levels—monitor if diabetic or on glucose-regulating medications
⚠️ Avoid high doses during pregnancy, as it may stimulate uterine contractions
⚠️ Can cause maple syrup-like body odor, a harmless side effect from its high saponin content
