Description and diagnostic features

Part used     

    Whole live plant, placed in a bowl of fresh water daily.


Uses                

 The water that soaked the roots of the plant for 24 hours is used.  One glass of this is drunk daily by a pregnant woman who is approaching the last weeks before childbirth.   It eases childbirth and also increases the amount of  amniotic fluid around the baby so it is easier for the child to change its position for birthing.
