FENUGREEK – THE ANCIENT SEEDBED OF LIFE AND HEALTH Fenugreek has been used as a medicine and foodstuff for millennia in the world’s oldest and most venerable cultures. Its seed contains high concentrations of a type of fibre called mucilage. This has made it a valuable remedy for soothing inflamed or irritated tissue when it comes to ailments of the respiratory tract and digestive system. As well, from the very earliest times, fenugreek seeds have been used by women to stimulate the flow of milk during breastfeeding. A couple of other therapeutic benefits of fenugreek, namely its astonishing ability to lower both blood sugar levels and cholesterol, have only come to light in recent times under the scrutiny of modern science. Health Canada has granted its formal approval to St. Francis Herb Farm’s product, “Fenugreek” (NPN 80016229). While there is much research yet to be done on the therapeutic qualities of this outstanding herb, for the present Health Canada has officially endorsed the following uses:
