Do I have to drink a lot of water?

Hi. If I'm taking the herbal pills such as Fenugreek, Wild Yam, etc., am I suppose to drink A LOT of water along with it? Do you girls do that or do you just don't think about it?

I personally drink a lot of water anyway so I didn't increase my water intake any. I think it is a good idea to drink lots of water while on these herbs because they are pretty smelly and the water will dilute that smell. Several people have said they smell like the herbs or other odors on their bodies from the herbs and some of those people said they drink lots of water. I would think that if you didnt drink much water the herbs would be really concentrated and you'd probably start to notice you smelled like that. I dont really know though, that is just what I think.

I drink about three litres of water every day anyway as well, but I am one of those people who smell off the Fenugreek, although I could imagine that the smell would be worse if I didn't drink as much water.
I would just try to drink a lot if you can, try and have an intake of at least 2 litres a day, if you don't like the taste just put some squash in it sometimes or drink herbal teas without sugar.

Lisa,
Im wondering if I will begin to smell like Fenugreek at some point. I have not noticed and my boyfriend hasnt noticed and he once noticed when I was taking a prescription medicine that I smelled funny, so he'd notice.
Im wondering how often you eat a day? And what kinds of foods do you eat?

If you haven't smelt off it by now I don't think you will start to. I eat several times a day and mostly wholemeal foods, fruit, veg. and generally healthy.

If you drink a lot of water anyway that might be why you've never experinced the smell.
