In this challenging time let us not forget those expecting mothers who may not have the support and guidance they were expecting due to pressure on health care professionals. If you are expecting a child or know someone who is, this recipe is a lovely way to help strengthen and support the afterbirth body. It increases appetite so the body can properly digest food, sending all nutrients to the correct places without creating any blockages, helping to build up immunity and avoiding deficiencies. It increases breast milk production and it can help to clear tissues no longer needed from the womb.

1tsp tamarind paste
