How Your Body Reacts When You Drink Soaked Methi Water Everyday

We have been observing our grandmothers and family members eating methi seeds or fenugreek through various different methods. They ensure to take these seeds either in the form of laddus, add them to vegetables, or soak overnight in water. If you speak to your mother or grandmother about your indigestion or acidity, they will instantly ask you to eat methi seeds.

According to a study conducted by National Library of Medicine, fenugreek seeds offer relief from heartburn as well. “Frequent heartburn occurs in many people, some of whom prefer alternative treatments over conventional drugs. In a pilot study of subjects with frequent heartburn, 2 week intake of a fenugreek fiber product, taken 30 min before two meals/day, diminished heartburn severity. This conclusion was based on symptom diary results and reduced the use of a mild antacid as a rescue medicine,” added the study.

Meanwhile, Harvard and AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist Dr Saurabh Sethi shared a video on his Instagram handle highlighting the potential benefits of soaked methi seeds. He said, “fenugreek seeds boost milk production in breastfeeding women, help with PCOS, ease perimenopausal depression, improve menopausal symptoms, reduce cholesterol, lowers hemoglobin A1C, and supress appetite.”

Below are some of the benefits of fenugreek seeds that you may experience after you consume them every day:
