Tribal woman Neelam Devi says that she has been using Satavar for the last three-four years. According to him, this plant found in the forest is considered helpful in removing problems like weakness, anemia and fatigue after delivery. According to folk science, the nutrients present in the root of Satavar help in increasing the energy of women and improving general health.

Useful for women after delivery
Neelam Devi says that in the community, Satavar is considered especially useful for women after delivery. They claim that consuming it in powder form gives strength to women and the body recovers faster after delivery. Many women believe that this plant helps in increasing the nutritional capacity of the body. However, expert consultation is necessary for scientific evidence.
Process of preparing Satavar powder
The process of preparing Satavar powder is also completely natural. Tribal women carefully extract the roots of Satavar from the ground. After this, they are dried in the shade for two to three days so that the natural properties of the plant are not destroyed. When the root is completely dried, it is ground into a fine powder in a mortar or any vessel. The prepared powder can be stored for a long time in an airtight container.
Satavar removes blood from the body
To consume this powder, tribal women generally recommend taking one teaspoon in the morning and evening. He says that in case of lack of blood in the body, the effect starts appearing within a week, whereas after using it after delivery, energy is felt in the body in two-three days. However, doctors suggest that pregnant or child-bearing women should consult a doctor before using any herb.
This knowledge based on local traditions is being passed down from generation to generation. Satavar has become an important part of the culture, health traditions and nature-dependent lifestyle of the tribal community.
