| Details |
Heeraben, 60, practices animal husbandry and earns her livelihood by selling milk. This particular practice is traditional community knowledge and she has been using this for many years.
To treat uterine prolapse Heeraben takes two- three litres water and adds 500 g neel (natural blue dye, Indigofera tinctoria L.) and mixes it properly. She gives one litre of this to the cattle for three days. Post delivery, she gives one to one and half kilogram of whole blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) daily for about two weeks. She soaks this overnight and in the morning mixes the soaked urad (blackgram) with the fodder. This dismisses the chances of recurrence of prolapse. |
