Here are some benefits of fenugreek seeds for skin and hair, shared by skin expert Mohit Narang.
Remove dandruff
Fenugreek seeds are rich in minerals and vitamins, which help treat dandruff problems caused by dry and flaky scalp. In addition, fenugreek seeds also have moisturizing and anti-fungal properties.
Prevent hair loss
The protein and nicotinic acid in fenugreek seeds help strengthen hair follicles and prevent hair loss. Soak fenugreek seeds in warm coconut oil overnight and use the soaked oil to apply on your hair.
Prevents acne and dark circles
Fenugreek seeds contain diosgenin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help treat acne and moisturize the skin.
Helps brighten skin
Apply a face mask made from fenugreek powder and raw milk or curd, which helps to reduce wrinkles and even out skin tone.
Exfoliate
Mix fenugreek powder with milk, oats and add a little rose water and apply on your face. Massage in circular motion for 2 minutes and then wash off with warm water.
Soothes skin and prevents skin damage
Fenugreek seeds contain polysaccharides, which help soothe damaged and irritated skin while reducing redness.
