I have been taking 20 gm grounded Methi dana soaked overnight for years. am unsure how it helps my blood sugar levels but it certainly helps in digestion. I had read some research reports in TOI and began having it. My doc also confirmed.

Please soak only 1 tea spoon daily in half cup of water in the night and take as it is i.e with water in the morning empty stomach after brushing. You can also use Methi seeds raw 1 tea spoon as it is with water in the morning empty stomach after brushing. You can also use Methi seeds Powder 1 tea spoon as it is with water in the morning empty stomach after brushing.

half grind the methi seeds and keep it in jar. take daily one spoon before every meal. avoid any liquid, if necassary ( as it is difficult to swallow it) take water to the minmum requirement. you do not have to chew with your teeth. it is approx 5 gms in each spoon. powdered methi ( when you sieve ) can be used/ mixed in wheat floor for making paratha, initially may not taste you, but i enjoy it

hello ,

i used to take the methi seeds ,(after small warming up in "tawa", make powder and kept in a jar ) ealy morning in empty stomach , i used to take 5 to 7 grams of this power with 200 ml drinking water , if it is some thing left over then i used to have 100 ml water and finish the methi seeds powder ,it is good in controlling the blood sugar and good for smooth motion and as per new Japaneses theory , we have to take 1 ltr to 2 ltr water at empty stomach keep away the all the diseases .

and i am taking medicine and walking about 2 miles in a day .

Using methi daana ( methi seed ) roast it into a pan ( kadaahi) , grind it in mixer to a powder form. Buy ' gudmaar powder" ( available on Ayurvedic shop) . Various brands are available. This is the powder of a leafy herb. Mix daalchini powder ( i.e cinnamon powder) . Ratio is : Gudmaar : 100g , Methi powder about 70g. and Daalchinin powder : 20 g. Mix well and keep in a bottle. Take one or 3/4th of a tea spoonful, half an hour before breakfast , before lunch and before dinner with simple drinking water . this is very much effective and cheaper than any other medicines . If you are taking alopathic medicines , still you can take this mixture.

I am diabetic , 59 years old,since last 16 years but started taking this mix-powder from last 3 years and found very good results. Simply taking soaked methi water in morning , empty stomach , is not much effective .

Methy seeds can be taken along with food without any soaking.If you are taking one teaspoon daily,consume it in three or four batches ie along with breakfast,lunch,evening tea,dinner etc.By this distribution of mehty seeds can be achieved.It will get soaked and absorbed inside the body.You can keep it handy on your dining table.
