MY MUM'S REMEDY LOH #201

Growing up, my mum literally knew what and what herbs or home made remedy to get back on your feet, she knew the herb a pregnant woman can take, the one a lady can take after giving birth/ coming back from the hospital etc. There is one I used to enjoy, I don't eat spicy food but this particular one must be spicy and I love it and thanks to my mum i know how to prepare that too. It's call pawpaw (papaya) soup, don't worry it's not made from the fruit nor the seeds but from the root and preparing that soup is very tedious, I don't feel like going into detail about the process of making it but if you want to learn you know where to find me 😁.

I remember so well one time everybody in my house except my parents was sick and my mum found it disturbing and the next thing we know, she went into the bush and came out with lots of leaves and boiled them in two different pots one was very big and one was smaller, after the whole boiling process my mum placed a chair a small one by the big pot and asked each one of us to sit in it and made a tent like structure with wrapper and duvet. When that thing hit ( the steam from the pot) I screamed my lungs out trust my mum to be a very strong woman she pinned me, we all went through that process one by one including my father although he wasn't sick( because his wife asked him to 😊) and we all came out sweating profusely, according to my mum that's a sign that it is working in us and truly we became vibrant in rhe next few second.

The one In the smaller pot is to be taken in shot morning and night, I joking called my mum a herbalist and she said it was so because her own dad was a herbalist before he died (a strong one) . Things my mum used to prepare that skinny routine as I call it are :
Dried plantain (banana) leaves
Mango leaves
Mango bark
Mango stump etc
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗
