Anti-inflammatory Properties: Fenugreek seeds contain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body. This could potentially benefit conditions such as arthritis and asthma.

Weight Management: The soluble fiber in fenugreek seeds can help promote a feeling of fullness, which may aid in weight management by reducing appetite and calorie intake.
