FENUGREEK
Fenugreek has proven to be helpful for people dealing with diabetes...
Fenugreek is a plant that is native to the Middle East, Egypt and India. It has been used for thousands of years as a food and medicinal agent. Today its main use is as a blood sugar regulator. Three constituents of fenugreek, tri-gonelline, nicotinic acid and coumarin decrease blood sugar levels.
Fenugreek seeds are also high in fibre. Fibre helps to regulate blood sugar by slowing down the absorption of sugar in the intestines.
These properties make fenugreek an excellent choice for the treatment of diabetes and insulin resistance. Fenugreek is also used to increase the milk supply of nursing mothers. It is believed to do this by acting on the brain to stimulate the release of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production. Other reported uses for fenugreek are to lower cholesterol, thin mucus secretions and lubricate the intestines to relieve constipation.
Most fenugreek supplements are made as encapsulated ground seeds, a tincture of the seeds or loose seeds. Fenugreek seeds are usually crushed or ground to release the essential oils (medicinal ingredients). Fenugreek may be found in formulas for regulating blood sugar or increasing milk supply.
Due to fenugreek’s blood sugar regulating ability diabetics and individuals with hypoglycemia should use caution when taking fenugreek. Oral hypoglycemics and insulin levels may need to be adjusted when an individual uses fenugreek.
