Baladi Choornam is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal preparation made from one single ingredient: Sida retusa.
Within the Gentle Birth Method programme, it is traditionally used during pregnancy to support the body as pregnancy progresses, with a particular focus on preparing the tissues and birthing areas for labour. It is also used to support digestion, relaxation and general wellbeing.
100% Sida retusa
No additional herbs or active ingredients are added.
Baladi Choornam is suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy onwards.
It may also be incorporated into the Gentle Birth Method approach during preconception/fertility preparation and postnatal recovery, where appropriate.
Each pack provides approximately an 8-week supply.
Use 2 tablespoons of Baladi Choornam with approximately ½ litre of water.
Bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by approximately half.
Strain before drinking.
If desired, add around ½ cup of almond, hazelnut, coconut or goat’s milk.
Maple syrup, palm sugar and/or vanilla may also be added to taste.
The decoction can be prepared earlier in the day and gently reheated when ready to drink.
Drink once each evening, ideally after your evening meal.
As part of the GBM programme, Baladi Choornam is traditionally taken alongside one Baby Pill, available separately from the Gentle Birth Method shop.
Baladi Choornam forms part of GBM’s wider pregnancy preparation programme and is traditionally used to support:
preparation of the body and tissues for birth
healthy digestion
relaxation and restful sleep
strength and recovery following birth
