Formulation And Evaluation Of Tea Powder From Fenugreek Seeds For The Treatment Of Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is thought to be caused by the release of prostaglandins in the menstrual fluid, which causes uterine contractions and pain. Vasopressin also may play a role by increasing uterine contractility and causing ischemic pain as a result of vasoconstriction. Although they were small studies, a few showed that taking fenugreek seed pills or drinking the tea made from the seeds could reduce and shorten the duration of menstrual pain, such as cramps. These women were then able to reduce the number of additional painkillers needed during their menstruation. The study investigated the efficacy of fenugreek seed tea powder in alleviating dysmenorrhea symptoms. Through a randomized controlled trial, participants consuming fenugreek tea experienced significant pain reduction compared to a control group. Analgesic properties of fenugreek were attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects. The findings suggest a promising natural remedy for menstrual pain, warranting further exploration into fenugreek's mechanisms and long-term effects on dysmenorrhea management Dysmenorrhea, a common gynecological condition characterized by painful menstruation, affects millions of women worldwide.
