Angaya Podi (Detox Powder)

From my grandmother/father’s kitchen with little of our twist, this ayurvedic home remedy is a hidden gem worth sharing. It’s known to improve digestion, reduce stomach ulcers, control blood sugar, aid weight loss and has plethora of benefits for lactating mothers. I had it post delivery with my first child but we started having it atleast once a week, if not daily during pandemic season to avoid common ailments for all of us and especially for my pregnancy and postpartum!
