Fenugreek is basically herb that traces its origin from the plant family line of Fabaceae from Southern Europe. As to where it really originated, there have been no account, although there are recorded uses of Fenugreek in the Middle East and the Africa.
Parts Used
Only the ripe seeds of Fenugreek are being used for therapeutic procedures. Seeds, which have been found to have a high concentration of mucilage, were also diagnosed to have components of Nicotinic Acid, Coumarin, Trigonelline, Steroidal Sapogenins, Yamogenin and Diosgenin.

Fenugreek is also recommended for internal use as cure to people in pain. Its mucilaginous properties also make it an ideal component in herbal mixtures for stomach aches.

and the North Africa are also using Fenugreek to heal sick people. They are also
used to induce childbirth and to increase breast-
