baalguti contents
The most basic balguti recipe, or the one that is given daily, has just 9 out of the 20 essential herbs. For the daily guti, rub the following essential herbs on stone with mother’s milk or preboiled water:
(1) Dry Dates (Kharik) (2) Almonds (Badam) (3) Liquorice (Jeshthimadh) (4) Sweet Flag (Vekhand) (5) Chebulic Myrobalan (Bal Hirda) (6) Winter Cherry (Ashwagandha) (7) Dry Ginger (Suntha) (8) Atis Roots (Atis / Ativish) and (9) Turmeric (Haldi)
The logic for using just 9 herbs stems from the thought that only the minimum, most essential ones be given to the baby.
