Best results if you use a glass bottle having dark green color. Such

bottles one gets when he buys extra virgin quality olive oil. In

case you do not get such a bottle, use ordinary glass bottle. One more thing not

covered in message 1155 is that if bottle is allowed to absorb moon light also,

the oil is imparted the cooling property too!

 

> 2. To be kept closed airtight or open?

 

In between the two extremes. keep slightly loose lid over the

bottle. Let evaporated moisture escape.

 

 

> 3. What exactly is the effect? I have read about soaking

fenugreek seeds in water but not in oil.

 

Oil absorbs the medicine in fenugreek in the same manner as sauting

oil absorbs fenugreek, cumeen, asfoetida molecules. The fenugreek

molecules what they do to the skin, blood etc is discussed in what

follows. Author takes it as an opportunity to devote one full post

to fenugreek, the wonder herb.

 

Fenugreek is a very important herb in ayurveda, its usage cover a

wide spectrum.

 

It is a galactogue(#5415,5550), you would have had it through

mothers milk, if she would have taken it during nursing period.

 

It is a leading herb to reduce insulin resistance(#8414,9076). It is

used in most anti-diabetic medication(#3036) as also its soaked

water is taken by women suffering from PCOS, menstrual problems. It

is also anti-vata herb, used post-partum to return the reproductive

system and principally uterus to shape. It is also useful while

passing through menopause, to keep joint pains, muscle pains in

check, and to keep blood circulation well. Laddus made from

fenugreek are eaten to keep obesity, arterial lipid deposits,

(#2027,7270) and Vata problems such back pain(3042,5479) in control.

 

1 tbsp ground fenugreek seed taken in the diet daily can reduce

cholesterol. Varicose veins can be cured (#5512). Fenugrrek seeds is

also used in teenage depression along with aloe vera (#1677)

 

It is a great ama burner(#6220), making digestion easier, hence used

in sauting vegetables and other preparation. The most popular south

Indian dosa becomes very crisp and easy to digest if fenugreek seeds

are soaked and ground with batter.

 

Use of fenugreek in Dandruff and for relieving itching, aiding hair

growth is due to its promoting better circulation by opening

channels of the body and support the flushing of toxins via the skin

(#635), giving cooling property and reducing insulin resistance.

 

8 tsps of seed presoaked in 4 cups cold water for 4 hours, then boil

for 2 minutes, strain and drink 1 cup a day to ease hay fever

attacks.

Fenugreek tea as an excellent relief for colic and fever in

children.

Fenugrek seeds have been used for labor induction, aiding

digestion, and as a general tonic to improve metabolism and health.

 

Chinese used it to reduce edema of legs.

 

It has prowess in tackling stomach upset, swelling (inflammation)

of the upper air passages or throat, appetite, for softening the

stool. It also has been used as a gargle to relieve sore throat, and

as an external dressing for swelling (local inflammation). The

published references to most medical uses can be found at

graecum

 

The fenugreek oil puts excess circulation needed to grow hair.

With nearly 800 post on ayurveda, and 500 on other specialized

lists related to specific diseases or patients, this has not been

possible. Most posts were written on the spur of the moment, and

sometimes off-list consultations were converted to posts, so that

benifits are shared by a wider community. It is left to

students/benifitted members to collect the posts together into a

file and use. It may be noted that none of the posts are copyrighted

or exclusive property..use them, get benifits and share with othres!

The spirits of ancient and previous generation vaidyas provided

enough motivation to share. And querries after querry and a little

warm appreciation by members kept driving the sharing mood.

 

A serious student of ayurveda should collect and consolidate the

knowledge in brain, not on PC. Brain provides a much better " Google "

the program with cognitive intelligence. The viruses in this super

programme are jealousy, selfishness and commercial motive!

Hello Dr. Bhate:

 

Thank you very much again for such a detailed answer.

 

I think with your suggestions, many students/members would start gathering and

organizing these valuable posts by you and the other experts.

We cannot afford to lose this!!

 

Thanks again.
