It is and it isn't... It's kinda hard to explain lol but there are websites that explain how ingesting it after birth is really beneficial to Postpartum Recovery!

You know ts done with yours and done right.

Quoting BbyGrlPickles:" Garlic? What will that do?"

Garlic is good for your heart, immune system and circulation. And Ginger is good for the digestive tract.
