Nirmal Tiwari
Jaipur: Impotence and
infertility is increasing
among tigers and ti-
gresses of the state.
Seven tigresses have
not given birth and an-
other half-a-dozen ti-
gers are suspected to be
impotent. Wildlife
experts attribute the
prime reason for this to
tigers belonging to the
same gene pool and
tigresses living a
lonely life in the periph-
ery area.
For the first time in
the state, the number of
tigers has crossed 100.
This number could
have increased further
had the seven tigresses
of Ranthambore and
Sariska not been infer-
tile. The last female lit-
ter of T18 tigress Mach-
hli has been translocat-
ed to Sariska from Mor
Dungri Gudha area. Its
two sisters, T 17 and T
19, gave birth to cubs
but after coming to Sa-
riska T 18 which is
known as ST 3 in Saris-
ka hasn’t given birth.
Similarly, the T 44
brought from Rantham-
bore to Sariska which
was called ST 5 in Sa-
riska also didn’t have
any offspring. T 35, T 37,
T 48 of Ranthambore
and ST 7 and ST 8 of Sa-
riska are also infertile.
Tiger man Daulat
Singh said that some
tigresses could not ad-
just to the new area,
while some were in
places where there was
no male tiger. Sunil Me-
hta, a member of the
State Wildlife Board,
said that most of the ti-
gersinthestatearecubs
of the same mother, so
there may be problems
related to the gene pool.
Mehta believes that the
same gene pool is a rea-
son for infertility
.
‘Same gene pool, loneliness render state tigers infertile’

BHADEL SLAMS CM GEHLOT FOR
STALLING DEVELOPMENT WORK
Whenever Congress came to power, economic condition of the state deteriorated: Bhadel
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: BJP MLA and
former minister Anita
Bhadel, while talking
to the media at the BJP
office on Monday, ac-
cused the Ashok Gehlot
government of stalling
development work in
his four-year rule. She
said that the economic
situation has worsened
and its burden is on the
people of Rajasthan.
“Development work
has come to a standstill
in Rajasthan. By 2023,
Rajasthan will have a
debt of 86000 crores,”
she said.
Bhadel said that the
Congress government
had promised in its
manifesto that it would
provide free and cheap
electricity to the farm-
ers, but Rajasthan is
getting the most expen-
sive electricity. “Subsi-
dy has not been given to
farmers for the last
three years. The Ra-
jasthan government is
only doing the work of
taking loans. There is
talk of employment in
the name of the invest-
ment summit, but many
MoUs signed in the
summit have been can-
celled. Building materi-
als are being taxed in
Rajasthan and this is
the reason why indus-
trial units are leaving
this place.
“People of Rajasthan
are fed up with the mis-
rule of the Congress
and in the coming 2023
assembly elections, the
Congress party will be
uprooted from here,”
she claimed.

IN-DEPTH
CIVILIZATIONAL
SPREAD GOES
GLOBAL VIA THE
TEMPLE ROUTE
rom Ayodhya, Vara-
nasi and Ujjain, India
is now focusing on
temples in Angkor
Wat in Cambodia
where king Suryavarman II
built a grand temple complex
dedicated to Lord Vishnu which
has attracted lakhs of tourists.
Subsequent rulers changed An-
gkor Wat, world’s largest reli-
gious monument, from Hindu to
Buddhist religious centre. Now
India has decided to restore the
Angkor Wat temple due to In-
dia’s civilizational spread. A
great deal of restoration work
has already taken place. With
temple construction/restoration
being the Union government’s
priority
, External Affairs Minis-
ter S. Jaishankar said in Vara-
nasi recently that it is “a matter
of pride for us that we are build-
ing a temple in UAE”. India also
has the approval to build a tem-
ple in Bahrain and has around a
1000 temples in the US.
India’s expanding religious
footprint, especially in Arab
countries, is a significant and
welcome development.
TOP TWEETS
F
wo states had two
different parties
forming new gov-
ernments in a
contrasting at-
mosphere. On one side was
Gujarat where BJP the new
government led by Bhupen-
dra Patel took oath of office
in the presence of party stal-
warts led by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, Union Home
Minister Amit Shah, chief
ministers of all BJP-ruled
states, party leaders and Un-
ion ministers. This is Bhu-
pendra Patel’s second con-
secutive term as chief minis-
ter proving that the term
anti-incumbency has lost its
relevance in Gujarat. Con-
gress, which seems to have
lost the plot, ended up with 16
seats and the new challenger
Aam Aadmi Party could win
only five seats. The show of
strength and exuberance was
an indication that the BJP
was all set for triumphant re-
turn to Lok Sabha in 2024.
The other state that wit-
nessed a change is Himachal
Pradesh where the BJP could
not beat anti-incumbency and
lost by a wafer thin percent-
age of votes. In terms of seats
Congress still got a majority
byasafemargin.Comparedto
Gujarat the loss in Himachal
was relatively inconsequen-
tial for the BJP. It was, how-
ever, a lifeline for the Con-
gress. Yet, the swearing-in of
Sukhvinder Singh turned out
to be a low-key affair despite
the presence of party’s big
leaders. The initial differenc-
es over choice of chief minis-
ter may have played a damp-
ener despite the fact that
Himachal offers a glimmer of
hope to the Congress.
While the BJP is gung ho
about 2024 after its Gujarat
victory, the Congress has to
cover a lot of ground to cover
andinternalissuestosortout.

T
INDIA CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
eing a trainer, leadership
coach and a mentor associ-
ated with the corporate world
over 15 years, I thought of
elaborating the need for a
good corporate governance
because of the increasing
concerns about the non-com-
pliance of standards of fi-
nancial reporting and ac-
countability by many corpo-
rate houses.
The collapse of interna-
tional giants likes Enron,
World Com and Xerox are the
glaring examples of the ab-
sence of good corporate gov-
ernance and corrupt prac-
tices adopted by manage-
ment of these companies in
CAHOOTS with their finan-
cial advisers. In last few dec-
ades, even Indian markets
have witnessed ugly practic-
es wherein investors have
lost their life time earnings
with no conclusive actions on
the culprit corporate houses.
Well, SEBI appreciated the
need for corporate govern-
ance and accordingly ap-
pointed several committees
to guard the interests of in-
vestors and shareholders of
a listed company against lack
of adequate standards of fi-
nancial reporting and ac-
countability
. Yet, the trend of
companies raising capital
from the market at fake valu-
ation by projecting a wrong
assessment of the company’s
assets and profitability could
not be arrested.
Though in India, the or-
ganizational framework for
corporate governance in-
volves the Ministry of Corpo-
rate Affairs (MCA), the Secu-
rities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) and the National
Foundation for Corporate
Governance (NFCG), only the
listed companies are forced to
comply with its provisions.
90% of unlisted companies
remain out of the gambit of
these set rules and regula-
tions and therefore, the inter-
est of market forces remains
by and large at the mercy of
these company owners.
No doubt that these unlist-
ed and private limited com-
panies make a major contri-
bution to economic growth
and employment in India.
However, the corporate gov-
ernance needs of such com-
panies have all through been
relatively neglected by the
experts and policy-makers
alike. How the interests of
various stakeholders like
customers, suppliers financi-
ers, , employees, and govern-
ment is being taken care of
by these Corporates remains
debatable.
Now the question arises as
to why a relevant aspect of
profitability in business, that
is good governance, is not
given attention to by most of
these unlisted and private
limited companies? The
short answer is their igno-
rance coupled with diluted or
non-existent rules in manag-
ing of such companies by the
concerned authorities.
It may be worthwhile on
my part to carry out a quick
SWOT analyses of good gov-
ernance for readers to under-
stand. The strengths or the
advantages of it are enor-
mous. For example, while
running a company, it is easy
to violate rules and regula-
tions if one has no legal ex-
pertise. Initiating govern-
ance procedures in place can
help comply with these laws
to focus on company’s suc-
cess.
Not just this, following laid
down regulations, one can
boost company’s reputation.
A company with a strong
reputation will have an easi-
er time attracting investors
and developing strong rela-
tionships with customers.
So, are their any short
comings and weaknesses
that need to be looked into by
company owners? Yes in-
deed, like two sides of every
coin, there are a few disad-
vantages which if guarded
against will enrich the work-
ing culture and environment
in the corporate. First and
foremost, business houses
are beholden to both state
and federal laws. The basic
purpose for forming a corpo-
ration is to shield sharehold-
ers from the liabilities of the
company to the amount of
money or other assets invest-
ed by them.
Apart from limited liabili-
ty protections, corporations
are actually formed so that,
the company can trade stocks
in order to raise required
capital. The problem, how-
ever, if a corporation wants
to sell stock and protect its
owners from liability, is that
it must follow a wide range of
formalities. For instance, the
board of directors must act
in the best financial interest
of the company. If they are
not fulfilling this fiduciary
duty, they may be subjected
to personal liability
.
While pandemics like Cov-
id 19, crashing Rupee and
framing of non-conducive
policies are considered
threats to good governance,
globalization and healthy
competition are a few oppor-
tunities for corporates to en-
ergise their efforts and tight-
en their belts for adopting
and practicing principles of
good governance for growth.
Though some measures
have been taken by SEBI and
RBI backed by strong politi-
cal will, much is needed to be
done by the corporates them-
selves to pay attention to the
grievances of investors and
protection of their invest-
ment by abiding with the
laws and adopting good
standards of effective man-
agement. If India wants
greater pie of FDI resulting
into sustainable financial
growth, it must implement
stronger laws protecting in-
terests of Global investors.

Shimla (PTI): The
Himachal Pradesh gov-
ernment on Monday
said it will take up the
issue of restoration of a
plaque declaring that
the foundation stone for
the Atal Tunnel was
laid by Congress leader
Sonia Gandhi with the
concerned authorities.
In a release issued
here, Chief Minister
Sukhvinder Singh
Sukhu said the plaque
has been “missing”,
which is an “insult to
democracy”. It must be
restored at the earliest,
he said.
The state Congress
had protested after
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi inaugurated
the tunnel on October 3,
2020, alleging that the
foundation stone laid by
Gandhi on June 28, 2010
had been removed be-
fore its opening.
Gandhi had laid the
foundation stone for the
tunnel as the then chair-
person of the National
Advisory Council, ac-
cording to the release.
The 9.02-km tunnel
was built by the Border
Roads Organisation to
connect landlocked La-
haul-Spiti district, said
Sukhu, who assumed
charge as the Chief
Minister on Monday
.
Himachal Pradesh
Police had on October
14, 2020 said the founda-
tion stone was secure
with the construction
company which built
the tunnel.

New Delhi: The men’s
FIFA World Cup, the
most important event
in international foot-
ball, features the top
national teams in ac-
tion. Football is widely
perceived as the most
popular sport in the
world, and the FIFA
World Cup, which is
held every four years,
spectacularly draws
massive crowds.
In the ongoing World
Cup, Argentina, Croa-
tia, France and Moroc-
co are the four teams
that have qualified for
the semifinals.
The World Cup will
resume when Argenti-
na takes on Croatia in
the semifinals on De-
cember 14. And on De-
cember 15, Francee will
take on Mmorocco.
The FIFA World Cup
2022, is currently taking
place in Qatar from No-
vember 18 to December
20, will be the first win-
ter World Cup ever. It
was planned this way so
that players could es-
cape the scorching high
temperatures in Qatar
throughout the summer.
The FIFA World Cup is
also the first to be con-
tested in the middle of
the club football season.
FIFA (Fédération In-
ternationale de Football
Association) website
states that the first
World Cup competition
was held in Montevi-
deo, Uruguay’s capital,
in 1930, 92 years ago.
The four teams in the
first competition that
allegedly played in an
“unfinished stadium”
were Argentina, Uru-
guay, the United States
of America, and Yugo-
slavia.

from Guwahati. The accused is Sunny Dilip
Lal Sharma alias Manav Govind. While he
had secured an identity in the name of Ma-
nav Govind to smuggle gold this time, it was
revealed that he had been using six different
identities. The DRI team recovered 862
grams of gold worth Rs 46 lakh from him.
He was later handed over to the Gomti Nagar

it surfaced that Sharma originally hailed from
Ulhasnagar in Maharashtra and was a part of

Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): The Congress-led UDF
opposition on Monday contended in the Kerala assembly
that the gender neutral views in the ruling Left front’s

has been decided and everything was up for discussion.
Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a key ally of the
Congress-led UDF opposition, said the proposed new ed-
ucation policy and the gender neutral views in it will create
“gender confusion” among children and the general public.
“The education policy aims to bring in gender equality and
rational thought. That cannot be allowed at state expense.
It will lead to negation of religion. Therefore, it has to be
removed from the policy,” IUML MLA N Samsudheen
claimed in the assembly.

z What is meant by
‘X-Factor Modi’?
Dr Jagdeesh Chandra:
Its meaning is absolute-
ly clear. ‘Modi All the
way,’ ‘One man show
Modi’, ‘Man of the
match Modi,’ ‘Modi A to
Z in Gujarat’, ‘156 a
Modi miracle’. This
means that Gujarat’s
script is written, direct-
ed, produced and even
starred by Modi. And
when we talk about
Modi, Amit Shah is ‘in
built’ in that story
. Look
at Modi, he stayed in
Gujarat for 21 days and
campaigned in a man-
ner that looked as if he
himself is contesting
the Chief Ministerial
election. He conducted
12 Yatras and stayed
there for 21 days. He
covered 52 constituen-
cies and the Party won
in 46, which means the
success rate is over 88%.
This is why
, I advise my
friends in the Congress
to give walk over to
Modi and Shah in Guja-
rat. Entire nation is
there, go and contest in
some other state. They
should be extremely
careful while entering
Gujarat because there
exists the ‘X-Factor
Modi.’
z Did Narendra
Modi, or Mohan
Bhagwat or Amit
Shah even think that
this target of 156
would be achieved?
It doesn’t seem so. Yes,
everyone had this
thought in their hearts
that they would cross
the 127 seat record.
Amit Shah had said
that they would cross
the numbers and JP
Nadda said that they
would create a record,
but no one said that
they would achieve 156
seats. No one except CR
Patil said that the party
would go past 140-150
seats. The basic point is
that they focus on each
election as if it is the
last election of their
lives, and they consider
the night prior to the
election to be the last
night of their lives so
they must do whatever
needs to be done. They
contest the elections
following the principle
of ‘Saam, Daam, Dand,
Bhed’ and if seen logi-
cally, all this had to
happen in Gujarat, per-
haps not 150 plus, but
about 130 seats. Even
those near to Prime
Minister had opined
that the Party would
get seats in the range
of 129-130. The reason
for this was that last
time, the BJP got about
54-55 percent votes and
the Congress got 44 per-
cent, or thereabout. So
they had thought that
this time around the 40-
45% votes that go to
Congress would be di-
vided due to the ‘three
-way’ contest, and that
is what exactly hap-
pened. So, they had
thought they would get
a little over 127, but
never did they think it
would swell to 156 seats.
So, you are right in say-
ing that all, even the
senior leaders, hadn’t
imagined that the Par-
ty would win 156 seats.
z So does this victory
mean that Narendra
Modi has become
larger than his own
party?
It can be said that in
Gujarat, it is not BJP,
but Modi that has won.
This is why, this phe-
nomenon is created
that Modi is bigger
than the Party. And
when perceived holisti-
cally, this holds true as
well. One person holds
the reins of the people.
No other party has a
bigger ‘crowd- pullar’
than the BJP in the na-
tion. In the BJP, its
think tank, its own so-
cial circle, there is no
one more powerful or
bigger leader than
Modi. He has become
greater than the Party,
but it is his modesty
that he salutes the Par-
ty and stays within the
confines of Party’s dis-
cipline, but the truth is
that he is actually
greater than the Party.
z PM Modi conducted
a 55 kilometre long
road show in
Ahmedabad. Do you
think this road show
had a major impact
on the election, consid-
ering the results now?
See, Modi is a ‘Master-
mind Strategist.’ He
strategises and Amit
Shah executes it. He
knows what needs to be
done and when. They
won the Uttar Pradesh
election and the very
next day
, when everyone
was taking time out and
relaxing, Modi reached
Ahmedabad and under-
took a nine kilometre
long road show, approxi-
mately six months be-
fore the election. There
were thousands of peo-
ple on the road then,
and they repeated the
same rally during cam-
paigning, but this time,
it was 55 kilometre long
and a million people
participated in this road
show. It was a great
‘Mastermind card’
played by Modi, on the
eve of second phase of
the election, and that
has given tremendous
results. It was a ‘Master
stroke.’
z Do you think it is
only Modi and Shah,
who have understood
Gujarat?
Of course, that is what
it seems to be. There are
reasons for it too. They
campaigned in Gujara-
ti, which is a ‘master-
mind move’ and all oth-
er political parties were
bamboozled. This estab-
lished a connect among
people. Those who were
not going to vote for
them, immediately fell
for the party over the
use of Gujarati lan-
guage. They know it far
better than anyone
which card to play at
what time. Let me cite a
few examples through
which you will come to
know why only these
two men know and un-
derstand Gujarat. The
people inform them. I
went to observe the elec-
tion campaigning in
Ahmedabad and sat in a
bus. I came across a
child and asked her if
she knows Narendra
Modi. She said yes, he
frequently visits Delhi .
I told her no he lives in
Delhi. She said no, he
lives in Ahmedabad and
sometimes goes to Del-
hi. When she became
adamant, her father en-
quired about the com-
motion. I told him about
our conversation that
the girl was saying Nar-
endra Modi lives in Gu-
jarat whereas, I was say-
ing that he now lives in
Delhi. The father imme-
diately asked me not to
teach the girl wrongly
and stressed that he
(PM) lives in Gujarat
and seldom visits Delhi.
Look at the passion of
people. With this, tell
me who can defeat Nar-
endra Modi? Then I
went a little further and
towards the Teen
Darwaza area, I came
across a Paani-Puri
seller and asked him
about the political situ-
ation. He said that ear-
lier there used to be ri-
ots thrice in a week, the
market used to remain
closed in Ahmedabad,
which is factually cor-
rect. People used to wor-
ry
, if someone from the
house would go out for
work, they would worry
if the child would re-
turn safely, be it Hindu
or Muslim. Now that
worry has vanished,
there are no riots and
we all are happy. Then
another example is
from Surat, where a
‘Mazaar’ had to be re-
moved and established
elsewhere, as it was part
of some development
project. When asked
that the ‘Mazaar’ was
removed yet you want
to vote for Modi, they
said even Temples have
been shifted. They said
that Modi has shifted
150 temples and only
two ‘Mazaars’ have
been shifted. So look at
the sentiment and state
of mind of the people.
They say that Modi will
remove, be it ‘Temple’
or ‘Mosque,’ if it falls in
thewayof development.
That is why, I say that
only these people know
and understand Gujarat
and that, thought of
‘Hindu-Muslim enmity’
is ending now. I went to
another Muslim domi-
nated area and asked
them. They agreed that
they didn’t want to vote
for Modi, but also ac-
cepted that now they
have no other option left
and secondly, the ‘Dou-
ble engine Government’
which Modi talks about,
has resonated with
them. They stressed
that if any other gov-
ernment comes to pow-
er, then issues like scar-
city of water and other
such matters would
spring up. Therefore,
they said that they need
development too and
hence, would vote for
Narendra Modi. So,
when the voters have
such a perception in
their minds, then, I can
say for sure that only
two people understand
this state.
z Till now it has been
Modi and Shah. But
do you think now CR
Patil’s name can also
be included in this
list?
You can say CR Patil is
like a ‘trouble shooter.’
I would not go as far as
saying that he is the
face in Gujarat, but
surely, his stature is
considered to be larger
than that of the Chief
Minister. So, after Modi
and Amit Shah, you
can say that he is some-
where in the second
line and he is there be-
cause his idea (about
party’s number of
seats) came true. He
was Party President
and was Modi’s person-
al choice, although
nothing can happen in
Gujarat without Amit
Shah’s approval. PM
Modi also consults him
while taking decisions
about Gujarat. In fact,
Patil was the only per-
son, who had stressed
that the party would
win around 150 seats
and if the party does
not get as many seats
then he proclaimed he
would retire from poli-
tics. And now the party
crossed the 150 mark.
z How do you analyse
Amit Shah’s role in
this historic victory?
His role is parallel to
Narendra Modi. I al-
ways say, ‘They are
natural allies.’ He had
started planning about
all this since 2011-12. he
has been planning this
for over a decade and
now that the elections
were here, he sat in Gu-
jarat for ten days. He is
a ‘Mastermind,’ he
makes all the strategies
and executes them and
hence, he is called
‘Chanakya.’ Since the
beginning till the end,
he carried out several
roles including that of
a troubleshooter, man-
ager game changer.
Above all, he conducted
23 rallies and covered
108 assembly constitu-
encies. He also con-
trolled the rebels, estab-
lished coherent under-
standing with CR Patil
and as Narendra Modi’s
trusted General, he did
wonders in Gujarat.
z Has JP Nadda’s
stature and role in-
creased considering
the manner in which
the entire election
campaign has been
conducted?
Of course. His stature
and role has increased.
Moreover, his say in the
decision making pro-
cess in the PMO has
also been substantial.
And the reason for it is
that he is a loyalist, he
is a hard working per-
son, a thorough gentle-
man, a low-profile and
silent performer. So,
his stature has definite-
ly increased and with
the role and responsi-
bilities assigned to
him, he is the third im-
portant person after
Modi and Shah. His
tenure would go up till
2024 elections, but it is
very much possible
that keeping in mind
his performance and
co-ordination, he may
continue on the posi-
tion.

FENUGREEK
NUTRITION
Fenugreekseeds
and leaves are
strongly aromatic
and flavorful. The seeds
are bitter, but lose their bit-
terness if lightly roasted.
They are rich in vitamins
such as thiamin, folic acid,
riboflavin, niacin, vitamins
A, B6, and C, and are a rich
storehouse of many miner-
als such as copper, potassi-
um, calcium, iron, seleni-
um, zinc, manganese, and
magnesium. Fenugreek
leaves are a rich source of
vitamin K as well.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF
FENUGREEK
Fenugreek seeds are a rich
source of trigonelline, ly-
sine and l-tryptophan. The
seeds also contain a large
number of saponins and
fibres that may account for
many of the health benefits
of fenugreek. The follow-
ing are some of how the
fenugreek herb has been
used traditionally for treat-
ing a variety of conditions.
REDUCES CHOLESTEROL
Fenugreek contains sapo-
nins that help reduce the
body’sabsorptionof choles-
terol from fatty foods. Some
studies also indicate sapo-
nins have a role to play in
reducing the
body’sproductionof choles-
terol, especially LDL or bad
cholesterol. For example,
Reddy and Srinivasan from
the Central Food Techno-
logical Research Institute,
CSIR, Mysore, India, found
that fenugreek helped re-
gress existing cholesterol
gallstones in mice. Further,
theyclaimedthatfenugreek
could significantly reduce
cholesterol concentration.
REGULATES BLOOD SUGAR
AND CONTROLS DIABETES
An unusual amino acid
(4HO-Ile), so far found only
in fenugreek, has possible
anti-diabetic properties
such as enhancing insulin
secretion under hypergly-
cemic conditions, and in-
creasing insulin sensitivi-
ty. Iranian researchers
from Qom University of
Medical Science suggest
the potential of 4HO-Ile as
an adjunct to diabetes
treatment for type 1
as well as type
2 diabetes.
ENHANCES BREAST
MILK PRODUCTION
Fenugreek has been known
since ancient times as a
herbal galactagogue - or a
herb that increases milk
production. Fenugreek has
been used traditionally by
mothers to increase the
production of breast milk
and stimulate milk flow
while nursing and breast-
feeding. Other examples of
herbal galactagogues in-
clude blessed thistle, milk
thistle, fennel, anise, net-
tle, and others. However, it
must be noted that there
are very little modern data
on their safety and efficacy
.
This is supported by some
studies that have found
that consumption of herb-
al tea containing fenugreek
seeds enhanced the produc-
tion of breast milk in moth-
ers and facilitated infant
birth weight regain in ear-
ly postnatal days.
PROTECTS FROM
CANCER
Studies have shown that
the fibres in fenugreek
may help prevent certain
cancers. For example, Re-
searchers at Rajiv Gandhi
Center for Biotechnology,
Thiruvananthapuram,
found that fenugreek has
estrogenic effects and
could be a possible alter-
native to Hormone Re-
placement Therapy (HRT).
Other studies have shown
that saponins and muci-
lage in fenugreek bind to
toxins in the food and
flush them out, thus pro-
tecting the mucus mem-
brane of the colon from
cancers.
MAINTAINS HEALTHY
TESTOSTERONE LEVELS
An Australian study re-
ported the significant posi-
tive effect of fenugreek on
physiological aspects of
male libido and also found
that it may assist in main-
taining normal healthy
testosterone levels. The
study recruited 60 healthy
males between the ages
of 25 and 52, without
erectile dysfunction
and randomized to 2
tablets per day of
600mg Testofen (a
Fenugreek extract
and mineral for-
mulation) or a placebo
for 6 weeks. The research-
ers found that Testofen
significantly increased
sexual arousal and orgasm
in the study men.
AIDS DIGESTION
Fenugreek is said to be an
effective heartburn or acid
reflux remedy because the
mucilage in fenugreek
seeds assists in soothing
gastrointestinal inflamma-
tion, and coating the stom-
ach and intestinal lining.
According to a study pub-
lished in the journal Phyto-
therapy Research, a 2-week
intake of a fenugreek fibre
product taken 30 minutes
before two meals/per day,
by subjects with frequent
heartburn, diminished
heartburn severity
. The re-
searchers found that the
effects were similar to that
of ranitidine at 75mg,
twice a day
.
HELPS WITH WEIGHT LOSS
Fenugreek complements
diet and exercise for weight
loss. This thermogenic
herb aids weight loss by
suppressing appetite, in-
creasing energy in the
short term, and potentially
modulating carbohydrate
metabolism.
FENUGREEK’S USE AS A
NATURAL HOME REMEDY
Fenugreekiswidelyknown
for its culinary properties
and also as a traditional
remedy for several condi-
tions.
It has been used tradi-
tionally in India, China,
and the Middle East for
thousands of years to treat
many ailments and condi-
tions.
Fenugreek seeds are rich
in vitamin E and are added
as preservatives in pickles.
Dried leaves of the fenu-
greek are used for flavour-
ing meat, fish and vegeta-
ble dishes.
Herbal tea made with
fenugreek, lemon and hon-
ey are traditionally used as
a remedy for fevers.
Fenugreek has been used
traditionally as a remedy
for eczema, burns, abscess-
es, and gout.
Fenugreek has also been
used to stimulate uterine
contractions and induce
childbirth.
Fenugreek extract has
been suggested to assist in
balancing women’s hor-
mones and also to enlarge
breasts.
A paste made from fresh
fenugreek leaves applied
regularly to the scalp be-
fore a bath may help with
hair growth, improve hair
complexion, and reduce
dandruff.
