What are Fenugreek seeds in Urdu, and how are they used in Ayurveda? - #12556
I was reading about natural remedies for digestion and hair health, and I came across fenugreek seeds. I know they are commonly used in cooking and Ayurvedic medicine, but I want to know what fenugreek seeds in Urdu are called. Some people say they are called "Methi Dana," but I want to confirm if that’s correct. Apart from just knowing fenugreek seeds in Urdu, I’m really curious about their benefits. I’ve heard that they help with digestion, diabetes, and even weight loss. But how should they be consumed? Should I soak them overnight and drink the water, or is it better to eat them raw? Also, do fenugreek seeds actually help in controlling blood sugar? A friend of mine who has diabetes was advised to take fenugreek water daily. Has anyone here tried it, and does it really work? Another thing—I have hair fall issues, and many people say fenugreek seeds are great for hair growth. Should I apply a paste of soaked methi dana on my scalp, or is drinking fenugreek water more effective for hair health? Would love to hear from anyone who regularly uses fenugreek seeds for health benefits. What’s the best way to consume them? Any specific home remedies that actually work?
