Fenugreek - just read this
Fenugreek is the hard, brownish-red seed of the Trigonella foenum-graecum plant, which is used as both an herb and a culinary seasoning. In India, fenugreek is often used to lower high blood glucose levels associated with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is also used to stimulate lactation in nursing women. However, avoid fenugreek if you have either an underactive thyroid or overactive thyroid gland. Phyllis A. Balch, author of "Prescription for Herbal Healing," says that fenugreek can alter the levels of your thyroid hormones. Consult your doctor before taking fenugreek if you have thyroid problems.
