I completely understand how scary it is to double-check every single thing we eat! Honestly, a small pinch of saunf after meals is totally fine and actually helped my digestion. Just don't eat spoonfuls of it to be absolutely safe.
Oh, saunf was a lifesaver for my constant morning nausea! I used to keep a few seeds in my mouth to stop that metallic taste. Just stick to a tiny pinch, too much can sometimes heat up the body.
In our family, elders say eating a little saunf after lunch is very good for digestion. I asked my doctor too, and she said small culinary amounts are perfectly safe. But don't drink concentrated saunf water daily without asking your gynecologist.
Having PCOS made me super cautious about hormone triggers, so I was always careful. Saunf has phytoestrogens, so eating too much is not recommended. Having just a few seeds after food is okay, but don't overdo it at all.
I am not a doctor so I won't give medical advice, but personally, I used to chew a few seeds of saunf whenever I felt bloated. My MIL told me it is fine in small amounts as a mouth freshener, and it worked well for my gas issues.
Since I had some bleeding issues in my early months, my doctor told me to avoid herbal teas or any seeds in large quantities. A small pinch in food is fine, but if you have any history of complications, please ask your doctor first before eating it regularly.
