Fenugreek Seeds
Info: Fenugreek is a 10 to 50 cm high plain herb and originally comes from India. In Europe, it was established by Benedictine monks as a medicinal herb in the monastic gardens. For medicinal purposes the seeds are used, which look like small goat horns, hence the name. Fenugreek has anti-inflammatory properties, especially with skin irritation, as well as digestive and diuretic effects. Its healing effects in diabetes are even scientifically recognized.
