Fenugreek ( / ˈ f ɛ nj ʊ ɡ r iː k/; Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and leaves are common ingredients in dishes from the Indian subcontinent, and have been used as a culinary ingredient since ancient times. [2] Its use as a food ingredient in small quantities is safe. [3] [4] Several articles have claimed that fenugreek oil can help with hair growth, scalp health, hair thinning, and other scalp issues in recent years.Dandruff, in particular, can arise from a dried-out scalp. The inflammation and dried skin can cause follicles to become looser and thus more prone to fall out, along with an unfortunate flutter of dry skin flakes.
