Anti-inflammatory
If you’re looking for an herbal tea with anti-inflammatory benefits, fenugreek tea is a great option. It is rich in antioxidants and compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects. Some research suggests that drinking this tea may help reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in the digestive tract, lungs, and joints. (2)
If you’re interested in trying fenugreek tea, it’s easy to make at home using whole fenugreek seeds. You can also find it pre-made at some health food stores or online retailers. Drink it regularly to enjoy its potential anti-inflammatory benefits.
Lowers cholesterol
Fenugreek tea can also help to lower cholesterol levels. The seeds of the fenugreek plant contain a compound called galactomannan. This compound has been shown to bind with bile acids and lower cholesterol levels in the body.
A new study has found that subjects who drank fenugreek tea had lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. The study’s lead author said that the findings could have important implications for people at risk of heart disease. “Fenugreek tea has the potential to reduce LDL cholesterol and so may help curb the risk of heart disease,” he said.
