Description
Many herbalists consider fenugreek for its expectorant properties. This herb is extremely helpful to the digestive system, mainly due to its mucilaginous properties, which triggers a sympathetic response in the other mucous membranes of the body. This oftentimes occurs in the respiratory and urinary system. The seeds of this herb are very high in mucilage contents.
This 4-7 foot annual is smooth and strongly anise or licorice scented. The long taproot sends up a round stem with few branches. Leaves are trifoliate, on hairy petioles with obovate leaflets. Flowers are axillary, and yellowish-white. The fruit is a 16 seeded compressed, malodorous legume. Widely cultivated for culinary and medicinal uses.
The seeds are historically used to strengthen recovery from an illness, bronchitis, fevers, a gargle for sore throat, increases breast milk, an oral contraceptive, restores hair growth, aphrodisiac, reduces cholesterol and urine sugar in late onset diabetes.
