Use | Fenugreek was used to help increase libido in men, as an aphrodisiac. Current scientific studies back up this use, because they point to its ability to balance hormone levels and potentially raise estrogen and testosterone in the body. This may explain why it has been used for amorous purposes throughout the centuries. Some other benefits of fenugreek extract which have been common knowledge in folk medicine for hundreds of years include its ability to soothe bronchitis and respiratory problems. |
