Baladi Choornam - Evening Herbal Drink

Baladi Choornam is - SIDA RHOMBOFOLIA - it is a herb commonly used during pregnancy in India and can be sourced from Nepal all the way down to the southern most tip of India, Cape Comorin. The cleansing function of the Baladi Choornam decoction helps to clear tissue toxins from the uterus, cervix, pelvis, hip joints and perineum. This helps the birthing areas to become healthy and elastic to assist in a natural birth. Detoxing the pelvic joints and ligaments enhances the functional mobility of the pelvis, an additional bonus for a gentle birth. Dr Motha has incorporated the Baladi evening herbal drink into the Gentle Birth Method in 1994 to help mothers have a progressive and more natural birth experience.

Can be taken from 12 weeks gestation to birth and beyond as it also helps mothers to enjoy deeper sleep. (Can also be taken for fertility).

Please place two level tablespoons of Baladi Choornam in a saucepan with 1/2 litre of filtered water. Bring this to the boil and then simmer down for 20 minutes to 1/4 litre then add 1/2 a cup of Almond Milk home made or suggested brands, Plenish, Sainsbury’s or Almond Breeze / or Hazelnut milk (Alpro) Then simmer further down to 1/4 litre stirring occasionally. Strain this through a sieve and pour this decoction into a cup and drink as a warm nightcap along with a dhanwantaram baby pill. If you would like to sweeten it add a teaspoon of maple syrup. You can also add a drop of vanilla if you wish. You can prepare this earlier in the day and warm it up and consume after your evening meal for maximum benefits.

One Dhanwantharam pill is advised along with your evening drink. These pills are very small therefore we call them Baby pills. Though they are small they are very effective. They contain potentiated digestive herbs that aid the digestion and absorption of nutrients - good for you and your baby.

Dose - one pill a day along with your Baladi Choornam evening drink.
