Used externally, it can reduce pitta inflammations of the skin and is particularly effective in promoting a smooth flow of vata.

It has always been a favorite of women, and consuming fenugreek with with olive oil and sugar was once considered a way to perfect the feminine figure. Fenugreek has been used for medicinal remedies and culinary recipes throughout Middle Eastern and European history.
