> My herbal reference text states that the active ingredients in fenugreek
> are flavonoids, volatile oil, saponins and alkaloids.  Its properties are
> listed as "leaving a soothing protective coating over irritated surfaces
> (internal demulcent, external emollient); nutrient; anti-inflammatory;
> galactogogue; hypoglycaemic.  A natural lubricant for the colon.
> Oxytocic.  Febrifuge."
>
> No mention of coumarins which *are* contra-indicated in lactation.
