RE: How Your Body Has the Knowledge of What to Eat for Health Problems

I've also heard similar experiences from my grandma, there's a branch from a tree (can't remember the name) that a woman who's pregnant soaks into water and drinks before giving birth, it was said it induces the birth process and makes it more bearable.

I personally have not gone very deep into this route but I do listen to my body more than I listen to what people try to suggest I do when I get sick. Nothing really trumps first hand experience in this domain :)
