Methi Dana, or Fenugreek, is a type of herb within the pea family (Fabaceae) and is often grounded and used as part of a spice mixture in many parts of the world, especially in southern Europe and the Mediterranean region.
Many research on the consumption of Fenugreek has offered evidence that the herb may be beneficial in alleviating symptoms of the following:
- Diabetes
- High Cholesterol
- Hypertension
- Menstrual Cramps
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Asthma
According to Nature Journal (2023), 33 million adults in Japan are estimated to have hypertension, which makes up for 45% of the adult population. Given this prevalence and circumstance, we are especially interested in the effects of fenugreek consumption on our blood pressure and hence will be conducting a simple experiment looking at the possible benefits of daily fenugreek in-take.
Yoshi san, a close friend of Ashutosh sensei, has agreed to work as our “guinea pig” for this experiment and will be consuming Fenugreek seeds as part of his daily routine for three consecutive months.
In the above video, Ashutosh sensei guides Yoshi san through the procedure for his experiment. It is important to leave the Fenugreek seeds to sit in water overnight, and to chew on the seeds well when consuming, for best results.
We will be back again with the results in March!
