Boost hair growth, reduces dandruff and inflammation
What is it?
Fenugreek is a herb with clover-like leaves that has many potential health benefits. The seeds and powder of fenugreek are used as a spice worldwide for their slightly sweet, nutty flavour. Ancient Ayurvedic texts suggest fenugreek seeds may help manage diabetes when consumed daily before breakfast, as they are high in fibre which can help control blood sugar. Fenugreek also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may alleviate pain and swelling from arthritis. In addition, fenugreek seeds are rich in protein and nicotinic acid to promote hair growth. The seeds can be ground into a paste with coconut oil and applied to the scalp as a conditioning shampoo twice daily. Fenugreek oil can also be used to deeply hydrate the scalp and hair, stimulating growth, strengthening locks, and softening texture. Fenugreek has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and pesticidal properties to support overall hair health.
