Labour-Aide – An Electrolyte Drink for Birthing Women

Ingredients

500ml filtered water
1 teaspoon good quality magnesium powder supplement
1/4teaspoon good quality sea salt(should be damp in texture and greyish in colour. Alternatively use Himalayan Rock salt)
1/4cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8cup raw honey

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together and stir until honey and salt is dissolved and magnesium is dispersed throughout.
Pour into non-toxic ice cube trays / ice block moulds or glass jars for freezing.
If freezing in glass jars be sure to leave a couple cm empty at the top of the jar to allow for the contents to expand on freezing. I also tend to leave the lid on loose until the contents is frozen, then cap tightly. That way you don’t get any cracking of glass.
