Parsley is considered very beneficial for the stomach and is used as a medicine in Ayurveda. It is traditionally believed that parsley not only relieves gas and indigestion, but it also helps increase breastmilk production and constrict the uterus. According to Ayurveda, celery can be very beneficial for breastfed mothers. Celery has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic elements. It is due to these properties that celery is fed to breast-feeding mothers after the birth of the baby. In such a situation, the lactating mothers (who breastfeed after pregnancy) is fed by celery paratha, laddu and pudding.
"Eating ajwain halwa is beneficial for lactating mothers. It increases the production of breast milk. It also helps lactating mothers heal; as it relieves backache and makes their muscles stronger. New mothers can protect their newborn and themselves from coronavirus by eating healthy.
