Methi (Fenugreek)
The golden seed of hair fortification. Packed with proteins, nicotinic acid, and hormone precursors, methi strengthens hair roots from within, prevents excessive shedding, and promotes remarkably thick, resilient hair growth.

Methi, known as fenugreek in English, has been cultivated since ancient times across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Indian subcontinent. Archaeological evidence from Iraq shows fenugreek was used as early as 4000 BCE, making it one of humanity's oldest medicinal plants.
Ancient Egyptians used methi in embalming and believed it could restore youth. Cleopatra reportedly used methi seed masks to maintain her legendary beauty. The seeds were found in Tutankhamun's tomb, indicating their value in the afterlife.
In ancient Rome, fenugreek was called "Greek hay" and was fed to horses to improve their coat shine—a practice that led to its use in human hair care. Roman women discovered that the same properties that made horses' manes lustrous could transform their own hair.
Traditional Arabic medicine texts from the 11th century describe methi as "the seed that makes hair as strong as horse's mane." Bedouin women in the desert used methi paste to protect their hair from harsh sand and sun, maintaining beautiful hair despite extreme conditions.
Methi's exceptional protein content and unique bioactive compounds make it one of the most effective natural treatments for strengthening hair roots and preventing hair loss.
Methi seeds contain approximately 25% protein by weight:
Methi contains unique hormone precursors that benefit hair:
Methi's nicotinic acid and other compounds fortify roots:
The mucilage in methi provides exceptional scalp benefits:
A 2019 study in the International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences found that fenugreek seed extract reduced hair fall by 73% and increased hair thickness by 28% after 12 weeks of regular application.
Methi offers numerous health benefits beyond hair care:
In India, methi seeds are soaked overnight and ground into paste for hair masks. Middle Eastern women combine methi with olive oil and egg for protein treatments. In Morocco, methi is mixed with henna for conditioning and coloring treatments that strengthen hair while adding shine.
We use organic methi seeds sourced from traditional growing regions where the climate produces seeds with highest protein content. Our extraction process preserves the delicate proteins and bioactive compounds, ensuring maximum strengthening benefits for hair roots.
Soak 3 tablespoons methi seeds overnight. Grind to smooth paste, add 2 tablespoons yogurt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Apply to scalp and hair, massage gently, leave for 45 minutes, then rinse. Use twice weekly for stronger, thicker hair.
