Fenugreek, known for its warm properties, is often considered harmful to consume during summers as it is believed to increase body heat. People avoid drinking fenugreek water in summers, assuming it might elevate body temperature.
While fenugreek does have warming properties, soaking it in water overnight and consuming it the next morning has a cooling effect on the body rather than raising body heat. Many people consume sprouted fenugreek seeds.
Fenugreek water is rich in vitamins A, B, C, magnesium, manganese, and iron, making it beneficial without any adverse effects on the body. It helps keep the body hydrated.
Drinking fenugreek water on an empty stomach in the morning can alleviate issues like constipation, diarrhea, swelling, gas, and heartburn.
