African women increase chances of giving birth to twins with okra water

Using okra water to boost ovulation by many African women has been a long-standing practice in traditional homes. The ingredients in okra are believed to increase the eggs during ovulation and any user of this potion stands the chance of multiple births.

The application of okra water may have stemmed from native African wisdom; studies suggest the vegetable increases fertility and boosts ovulation. Okra is believed to be high in vitamins such as vitamins C and folic acid which have also been shown to improve ovulation.

The recipe for increasing your eggs during ovulation is quite simple. After buying okra from the market center, you wash and slice it into any shape or form you prefer. The next stage is to immerse the slices of okra in water and store it in a cool place overnight and drink it later after you have completed the separation process of okra from the water.
