To help consolidate a child's bones after a fracture, we can first mention animal or marine collagen; marine collagen being more recommended for cases of bone fractures. Devil's claw can be combined with the collagen.
Horsetail, which contains organic silica, is a good ally: it can be found in syrup form, taken as one tablespoon in the morning.
In addition, fenugreek is found in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and many Muslim Arab physicians have cited its benefits. Fenugreek can be used in the form of jam, or ground and mixed with milk, at a rate of one teaspoon per day. Fenugreek is also found mixed with figs, and this mixture is eaten on an empty stomach in the morning.
Furthermore, oat and barley soups are recommended for consolidating bones, and in this regard we find talbina in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
What the science says: bones and fractures, fenugreek (helba)
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — the studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Bones and fractures
Calcium and vitamin D combined reduce fracture risk in people who are deficient or elderly, with some nuances depending on the study (JAMA Netw Open, 2019) (BMJ, 2026); weight-bearing exercise, protein, magnesium, vitamin K, and silicon also contribute to bone strength. Sesame, almonds, sardines, leafy greens, and dates are sources of these. Precaution: high-dose calcium supplements without vitamin D and without medical advice can be harmful; the healing of a fracture should be monitored with a doctor.
Fenugreek (helba)
Fenugreek, widely present in tradition, lowers blood sugar according to meta-analyses (Medicina, 2023) (Avicenna J Phytomed, 2025) and is among the galactagogues (lactation stimulants) evaluated by a Cochrane review (Cochrane, 2020). Precaution: blood-sugar lowering — monitor glucose levels if on diabetes medication; not recommended during pregnancy (effect on the uterus), permitted during breastfeeding in moderate doses.
