- besides Saudi Arabia, maryam (also called as mariym booti, Nabi booti, Madina leaves) is found and sold in Pakistan and Iran. … These look like dried curry leaves. It is also said that the Prophet (SAW) gave these leaves to a lady who was finding it difficult to conceive.
- Incidentally maryam is not eaten; rather it is soaked in a bowl of warm water in the delivery room. Gradually the plant/flower ball opens up to a full shape. Labour continues, the mother gently perspires as the flower ball starts softening, opening and expanding into a woody flower.
- As a medicinal preparation, it is reconstituted in water and taken internally for colds, as an emmenagogue (to bring on menstruation), for epilepsy, uterine hemorrhage, and to bring pain relief and support for childbirth.
