Abstract
Fenugreek is a wonderful herb with impressive therapeutic and nutritional benefits and has been in use for thousands of years in Ayurveda, Unani, and Chinese medicine both as medicine and spice. It is a rich source of iron, magnesium, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and steroids. Recent researches have highly explored its antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, hypocholesteremic, anti-oxidant, and immunological actions. Seeing the volume and trend of research on the said herb, least work has been done with reference to this valuable plant in Unani medicine. It is a sincere effort of authors to accurately present the invaluable benefits mentioned in Unani classical literature.
