Rasayana for Childcare

Recipe 2
Draksha Juice
to quench excessive thirst
and normalise digestion
Ingredients
Fresh blue/black grapes (well ripened): 200 g
Clean thin muslin or cotton piece of cloth
Preparation
Separate the grapes in the bunch, wash thoroughly.
Wrap them with the cloth and squeeze out the juice into
a glass. This juice should preferably be consumed immediately.
If necessary it can be stored for a maximum of 3-4 hours,
refrigerated.
Uses
Grape juice helps normalize digestion and metabolism in
children. It acts as an appetizer and helps spark an appetite
if your child is refusing to eat. It helps the body in better
absorption of micro nutrients in food.
Ayurveda suggests Draksha juice as an ideal adjuvant:
something that increases palatability and effectiveness of a
medication that the child is being given. For instance Draksha
juice is advised as a supplement (Palthya) in anaemia
treatment along with other medication. In mild anaemia of
teenagers, Draksha juice can help.
This is also your go-to juice in managing excessive thirst
and lassitude/weakness in cases of fever, sun stroke and exhaustion
during summer.
