My grandmother always suggests using gingelly oil for various things. I'm wondering if it's safe to consume or use gingelly oil during pregnancy. Are there any benefits or precautions I should be aware of?
To be honest, I got so scared of using sesame or gingerlly oil because elders say it's hot. I completely stopped it during my pregnancy just to be on the safer side. Please check with your doctor first.
Look, a small amount in your daily food is absolutely safe. But if you are planning to take it raw as some home remedy, then please dont do that. Keep your cooking simple and safe.
Same here, even I have this exact doubt in my 5th month! Some relatives say it is too heating, but others say it's fine. Are you guys cooking daily meals in it or avoiding it completely?
Yes, you can absolutely use it in moderation. No need to stress over old myths about sesame oil being dangerous. Just use it normally for your daily food and focus on eating a balanced diet.
Please be very careful with what oils you use. I had some spotting in my first trimester so my doctor told me to avoid anything that traditionally causes body heat. Better to call your gynac and ask before cooking with it.
Oh, I remember worrying about literally every single ingredient, it is so overwhelming! Honestly, I used a little bit of gingerlly oil for normal cooking and my baby is perfectly fine. Sending you so much love, you are doing great.
I actually panicked when my MIL used it for tempering my dal, thinking it might cause a miscarriage! But my doctor told me a small amount in food is completely safe. Don't stress too much about small quantities.
Unless u are drinking a whole bottle of gingelly oil, a little bit on your idli is not going to do anything! Eat happily and enjoy your food, just don't go sesame crazy.
Gingelly oil is okay in small quantities, but my thyroid levels fluctuated a lot during pregnancy so my doctor monitored my entire diet closely. Keep doing your regular blood tests and ask your doctor if it fits your diet.
If you are using it for basic cooking or with podi, it is totally fine. But dont drink it directly or use too much of it. If you're still doubtful, just switch to normal sunflower or mustard oil for a few months.
