What is Fenugreek powder in Malayalam, and how is it used in Ayurveda? - #12558
I have been reading a lot about the benefits of fenugreek for digestion, hair, and overall health. I know that whole fenugreek seeds are called "Uluva" in Malayalam, but I want to confirm what Fenugreek powder in Malayalam is called. Some people say it’s "Uluva Podi," but I want to be sure if that’s correct. Apart from just knowing Fenugreek powder in Malayalam, I also want to understand how it is used in Ayurvedic remedies. I’ve heard it helps in controlling diabetes and improving digestion, but how should it be consumed? Is it better to mix it with warm water, or should I add it to food? Another thing—I have hair fall issues, and some people say applying fenugreek powder paste on the scalp helps in hair growth. Has anyone here tried it? If yes, how long should it be left on the hair, and does it actually strengthen hair roots? Also, I have mild acidity. Some people say that fenugreek powder can help reduce acidity when taken before meals, but others say it can cause bloating if not taken properly. What is the best way to consume it for digestion without side effects? Would love to hear from people who use fenugreek powder regularly. How do you take it, and what benefits have you noticed? Any home remedies you would recommend?
