Convalescence — rebuilding a body just up from illness.
Food Remedies
Main remedy
Mausami: its juice gives strength to the digestion, brain and liver and helps food become body-tissue. In fevers and grave illness, when solid food is stopped, the juice keeps the patient from weakening and draws out toxins. Taken for several days it relieves constipation, headache, listlessness, fatigue and sleeplessness. Give to infants mixed in milk.
