Fenugreek contains active components of alkaloids, lys and L – tryptophan, in addition to steroidal saponins (tigogenin, diosgenin, neotigogenin and yamogenin). It is traditionally soaked overnight in water and, first thing in the morning, the water is drained and drunk.

The benefits of Udwarthanam
The word Udvartana is largely used for the most famous body treatment in Ayurveda to address and reduce weight. However, if we refer to the classics of Ayurveda we have different types of Udvartana mentioned, which are classified according to their action on the body and the result the Ayurveda physician would like to achieve.
Also there is a large misbelief that Udvartana is only used as a treatment to lose weight, whereas Sushruta (Father of Ayurvedic Surgery), divides the Ayurvedic powder massages into three parts: Utsadana, Udgharshana and Udvartana.

Toners, an important step in every home-care routine.
Toners seem to have received a bad rap over the last few years. This is understandable as many contain alcohol or harsh ingredients that can dry out the skin or worse, irritate it. Generally designed to be used after cleansing to remove excess cleanser or mask, Toners instantly refresh and prep the skin for what is to come. Find the right one for your skin type and you will never look back. And, it will definitely become a staple in home care routine.
