Dear Quiyan

Yes Fenugreek is quite effective to cure vaginal discharge. I used it for a period of about 15 days, and it was all cured. didn't have to repeat it.

It worked wonders to cure the problem, i could see the difference within 4 days. All you need to do is--

Dip 2 to 3 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water. Keep it overnight. Next morning, strain it and drink the water.

Or, you may drink the decoction of Guava leaves and bark twice a day....
All the best..!

I am sure you will get rid of this problem.

Dear Anuradha Ji

Yes, Fenugreek is hot in nature. and yet it is used to cure diseases like Piles, Diarrhea and Dysentery. There are many Herbs which are hot in nature, but their potency can be changed or neutralized by taking them with some other Herb or by changing the method to consume them.

Ashwagandha and Almonds are such examples. And, Fenugreek is also one of those Herbs whose potency depends on the way we take it.
When fenugreek seeds are taken for piles, It is soaked in water overnight. Now, this soaked fenugreek is no more hot in nature and its nutrients work to cure Piles.

Similarly, when taken with yogurt for Diarrhea or Dysentery , fenugreek is no more hot in nature and cures the disease.
You may scroll up and see the Materia Medica for Piles.

This hot and cold thing. I think it works. Take gond katira for example. Whats it called in English, wait, let me check, Tragacanth Gum. Now in summer we soak it in water and eat it with milk or ice cream. The effect is to cool the body heat. Come winter and we fry it in ghee, and add it to sweets (specially pinni ). Its action is to warm the body. In fact it is used to expel the placenta after child birth. It cleans the womb.

So, must be same with fenugreek.

Team herbpathy ;
Guys I got to complement you. Where did I look up the English name. Not in Google, but in herbpathy.com. Now a days I visit your site first and if I do not find something only then I go to Google. But mostly I find everything here.

Apply it gently on the breasts. Leave it on breasts for 20 minutes. Then wash off with water. Follow this daily before taking a shower. Try for a week.
Let us know the results please.

Or you may try buffalo milk and almond oil. Take both of these in the ratio 20:4 . 100 ml milk and 20 ml almond oil. Mix them. Massage your breasts in clockwise direction. You will see the size of your breasts increasing within 7 days of application of this mixture.

Dear Mohammed Ali I myself am a diabetic patient for the last 17 years. Earlier I used to take allopathic medicine to cure. But the mediines failed to do any good. Then I came across the Herb gudmar last year. SInce then , I have been taking that Herb. it really did wonders. my sugar never fell beyond 200 post breakfast. But when I took the Herb. Within 3 days, the sugar level fell down to 130. this was great. The Herb is like controlling my diabetes since then .

So, you may also try that Herb. buy the tincture from a homeopathic store. take 5 drops in a glass of water before every major meal. try for a month. Just, do not forget to monitor your sugar levels. the moment you feel the sugar has fallen down drastically, then you may either decrease the dose or may even skip it. This Herb is my saviour, I'd say. Thanks Herbpathy for providing useful info on the page DIABETES and Gudmar. I feel the users are lucky who so ever visit the site and get the cures that too without the trouble of going to the hospitals and where not !!!

You may do it everyday, it will not only lighten the blemishes, nut will also make your skin radiant and smooth.

Dear pooja Yes, you may take Methi seeds to reduce weight. Drink green tea daily, early morning.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily. or you may soak the methi seeds overnight and may drink its water, the next day. Eating 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight. Avocado is a great fruit, which helps in reducing weight. It will suppress your hunger, reduces the urge to eat and will help to shed off extra calories, that too without any side effect.
Perfect ! Regular exercise is a must for you.

Doing Kegel exercises for 10 minutes daily can make a significant difference in correcting the displacement of uterus.
Hip/ Sitz bath is beneficial in treatment and cure of displaced uterus. For this, the water level in the tub should be up to the navel. Rub your abdomen and other parts immersed in water, vigorously. After coming out of the tub, rub the wet pelvic area with a rough towel.
Eat food rich in Magnesium and Zinc.

You do not seem to have any problem . Are there any other symptoms that you wish to share. Just stop the intake of fenugreek. This is hot in nature , when not soaked in water. That might be mild spotting that you experienced. Let us know, if it happens again. Or if you notice any other symptom.

Firstly, we must congratulate you for being one and only one person that we have come across on this website, who wishes to increase the size of the bottom and not decrease it. Every other user asks to reduce the size. However, our advice is to do nothing. You seem to be healthy. Anything you do will have serious side effects and will cause some organ to malfunction. We suggest to do nothing.

This is something that a man does not need to develop. What can I do to continue to take the saw pomentto with the fenugreek tea.

George. Breasts will develop only in females, not in males. And if you still are doubtful, then you may take only Saw Palmetto, with Pygeum and pumpkin seed oil capsules. Take one capsule of each, every day, for a month. Take one cup of tea prepared by Stinging Nettle leaves, daily for 15 days.

On top of that I was taking regular herbs of my own, like: fenugreek seed powder, manjakani in capsules, and Kacip Fatimah extract. With these daily combos i looked pregnant and got very big so I stopped taking the fenugreek and kacip fatimah, I dont take the manjakani but perhaps once a week now and I noticed that is sais that fenugreek helps you to loose weight. Currently I stopped the butt booster and am taking black seed oil with a diet of kelp salad with blueberries and strawberries and chicken? What do you recommend to get rid of the fat and why?

Stop all the herbs. Please do not take any herb and that butt booster. Only take homeopathic medicine called Nux vomica. Buy it in the 0/6 Lm potency. Take 2 pillules of this medicine, add it in a bottle of water and have one teaspoon every day for a week. Remember, succession is important everyday before you take it. Bang the bottle on your palm 10 times daily before you take the medicine. for any queries, write us back.

I want to try fenugreek to make my breast larger and less saggy. I have very small Breast and dont want to get supper big ones just want them to be fuller. Ive done alot on research on the plant discovering good and bad reviews. I want to keep my hormals balanced what else can i take with the fenugreek seeds so that i don't end up with to much estrogen . i take applw cider vinger every other day and drink tumeric tea every other day so i dont know how feungreek will play into this. Ive only used the seeds for hair growth. What measurements should i take for breasts growth? i was going to make a tea as well as use the water for massaging.

I am under hypothyroid medication since last two years, I wish to try fenugeek seeds after reading about the benefits of it in your blog for reducing the body heat and for hair also has sinus problems and sleeping disorder. Under these conditions is it advisable to have fenugeek soaked overnight and take it in the morning.

Since you are already under allopathic medicines, it is not recommended to take it. The allopathy may react with the herbs, you may have to lower the dosage of your allopathic drugs. For reducing body heat, you may drink Coconut water on an empty stomach. A glass of Buttermilk with a pinch of black pepper in it and a little coriander. If the Sinus problem is not mild, then you should avoid Buttermilk. These will also help you with Sleeping Disorders. Gond Katira soaked in water is one of the best cures for body heat. You may try that.

Dear Zaheer Abbas,
1. For low sperm quality and quantity : Gokharu is the best remedy for you. Its Homeopathic name is Tribulus Terrestris. Add 10 drops of the tincture in a glass of water. Drink it daily for a month.
2. Hepatitis B : Take Milk Thistle capsules for 1 month. Also, have Radish juice empty stomach in the morning. Take 1 teaspoonful of juice for 3 regular days. Skip for 7 days and then again have it for 3 days. Follow this procedure for 1 month.
3.Spleen Enlargement : Buy tincture " Ceanothus Americanus " and have 10 drops 2 times in a day. It has good results on Spleen. Take it for 1 month.
4. Spleen Enlargement : Prepare a decoction of Harsingaar by boiling 3-4 leaves in water. Drink it daily for an effective result. Harsingaar is known as Nyctanthes Arbortristis in Homeopathy. You can take that also. Take 10 drops in a glass of water for 30 days.
5. For low platelet count : Have 1 glass of Papaya leaf juice every day.
Have 1 Kiwi fruit every day.
Have a glass of Goat's milk every day.
Have these remedies for 3 to 4 days and you will see your platelet count has increased.

Dear Chris Fenugreek seeds can be included in the diet to improve the vaginal health and for tightening too. Other than this you can try the following: 1. Curcuma Comosa tightens the vaginal muscles. Apply 1 tablespoon juice of Curcuma Comosa root on the genital area. Leave it for 10-15 minutes. Wash off. Do this for a month. 2. Majakani: Take Manjakani, crush and boil it in water. When the color of the water changes, leave it to cool. Use the cooled water to wash the vagina and experience the result yourself. Repeat the method for 15 days and write us back after 1 month. You can also try specific yoga exercises for the same.

Dear Abhay
Did you ate the powder or applied it?
The Fenugreek seeds promote weight loss. It suppresses the appetite and thus helps in reducing weight.
You can stop the use of Fenugreek and work on the lost weight. Improve your diet and add few healthy items to your diet.
Have Banana shake or Banana every morning. Also take nuts,milk,curd to your diet.
Take 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk every day. Take it for 15 days. For Knee pain, massage daily with Sesame oil. Add few Garlic cloves in the oil. Heat it and then use for massage. Ashwagandha will also help in relieving pains.
