Can i eat amla pachak during pregnancy?

Question

I love that amla pachak candy type thing, used to eat it daily before. Now im 3 months pregnant and not sure if its ok because of all the masala. Anyone having it during pregnancy?

Professionally, amla is great for vitamin C, but pachak has high sodium. A little bit is fine for nausea, but don't eat it like candy without asking your gynac.

I love amla pachak for digestion, so I was actually wondering about this too for when I get pregnant. Glad to know a small piece is fine, but definitely safe to check with the doc.

Yes, you can, but don't overdo it. Amla pachak has high salt and preservatives which can cause water retention, so keep it in moderation.

In my family, elders say amla is excellent for health, but my doctor told me to avoid highly salted packed foods like pachak. Better to eat fresh amla with a pinch of salt if you have cravings.

My pregnancy tracker app suggested amla for morning sickness, but pachak often has extra spices and salt. Try normal dried amla or home-made juice instead of market pachak.

Look, a little bit for nausea is totally fine, but eating too much can cause acidity and elevate your blood pressure due to salt. Just eat in limit and you are good.
