Halim aka aliv seeds, also known as garden cress seeds are known as 'ashaali' in Ayurveda.

It was traditionally prescribed for post-partum recovery of women to improve their immunity, skin, lactation, and thyroid levels

Health experts also prescribe it for youngsters on the cusp of puberty with skin breakouts, women experiencing menopause, those experiencing hair thinning issues, and more.

Being loaded with iron and multiple vitamins, it's also good for those recovering from COVID

Aliv works best when paired with fats, so the right way it eat it is by making laddoos with it, mixed with ghee, coconut, milk, and more.

You can also soak a pinch of aliv in water overnight, add it to your glass of milk, and have it at night.

Make sure that you don't consume too much of it at a time, as it can be tough on the stomach if you are not used to it. Information courtesy: Facebook/@rujutadiwekar
