Update: I'll be adding 1000mg SP (once I get my hands on some) to my routine and cutting out EPO (will try to hunt for borage oil) after re-reading Isabelle's list of herbs/functions and Wahaika's reply in hope's thread about SP being an anti-androgen and trying the herb out to curb acne.
I've been battling oily skin/acne since last year. I've always had combination acne-prone skin, but never as bad as this. My scars never get a chance to heal because I always get new zits
Tried pounding the fenugreek seeds with a pestle and mortar AND a hammer today, and all I can say is man those seeds are HARD! So I've resorted to Isabelle's method of soaking the seeds in water beforehand and chewing them. Isabelle I have to take my hat off to you - the seeds taste nasty! They're bitter and smell like grass!
Still no signs of smelling like maple syrup even though I've bravely upped my intake to 1/4 tsp 3 times today. No warm feelings either, but experienced ocassional prickling sensations (like random sharp pin pricks) on the breasts. They're a bit itchy too.
On another note, I've noticed that I feel more bloated than usual, and Fenugreek makes me feel really sleepy throughout the day. It knocked me out last night and this afternoon too (had to take a nap).
