What is Uluva in Kannada, and how is it used in Ayurveda? - #12563

Anonymously

I recently started reading about the health benefits of fenugreek and came across the word Uluva. I know that in Malayalam, it refers to fenugreek seeds, but I want to confirm what Uluva in Kannada is called. Is it the same as "Menthya"? Apart from just knowing Uluva in Kannada, I also want to understand its Ayurvedic benefits. I’ve heard that fenugreek helps with digestion, diabetes, and even hormonal balance. What is the best way to consume it? Should it be soaked overnight, or can it be taken as powder? I also have hair fall issues, and some people say that applying Uluva paste on the scalp helps with hair growth. Has anyone tried it? Does drinking fenugreek water also help with hair and skin health? One more thing—some people say fenugreek can increase body heat. Is this true? If yes, what is the safest way to consume Uluva without causing heat-related issues? If anyone regularly uses Uluva in Kannada, please share how you take it and what health benefits you’ve noticed. Are there any side effects if taken daily?

In Kannada, Uluva (fenugreek) is commonly referred to as Menthya. Fenugreek has various health benefits, including improving digestion, managing diabetes, and balancing hormones. To consume it: Soaking fenugreek seeds overnight or using powder form are both effective. Soaking may help with digestion. For hair health, applying a fenugreek paste or drinking fenugreek water can promote hair growth and skin health. While fenugreek can increase body heat, consuming it in moderation is key. You can balance this by drinking plenty of water and combining it with cooling foods. If you’ve tried fenugreek for these benefits, feel free to share your experience!
