The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has issued a warning to pregnant women regarding the consumption of large quantities of the tonic fenugreek, also known as Trigonella foenum-graecum. While fenugreek is highly nutritious and can stimulate appetite, aid digestion, and help increase milk production in women after childbirth, the SFDA recommends limiting daily intake to 5 to 10 grams. The authority explained that fenugreek may interact negatively with diabetes medications, blood thinners, and cholesterol-lowering drugs, and pregnant women should be cautious. Additionally, individuals who are allergic to legumes like chickpeas and peanuts may experience allergic reactions to fenugreek.

It is important to avoid consuming fenugreek at least two weeks before any surgical procedures, as it may increase the risk of bleeding. Despite the numerous health benefits of fenugreek, consuming high doses can lead to unpleasant side effects such as bloating, gas, vomiting, and diarrhea. The SFDA stresses the importance of using herbs, including fenugreek, with caution and recommends consulting a qualified healthcare professional before consumption. The authority provides a list of banned medicinal herbs and plants, as well as prohibited beauty products, on its official website for consumers to reference.

In conclusion, while fenugreek has many potential health benefits, pregnant women should be mindful of their intake and consult with healthcare professionals. The SFDA warns against consuming large quantities of fenugreek, as it may interact with certain medications and cause adverse reactions in some individuals. By following the recommended daily intake of 5 to 10 grams and being aware of potential side effects, individuals can safely enjoy the benefits of this nutritious herb.Additionally, avoiding fenugreek before surgical procedures and being cautious of allergic reactions are important considerations for those consuming fenugreek. Consulting healthcare professionals and being informed about the risks and benefits of fenugreek can help ensure the safe and effective use of this natural remedy. The SFDA’s guidelines and resources are valuable tools for consumers seeking information on the safe use of herbs and medicinal plants.
