I've always used guggul for certain health concerns, as it's a traditional herb. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm checking everything. Is it safe to consume guggul during pregnancy?
I felt the same urge to try Ayurvedic things for joint pain during my pregnancy, but then I read that guggul is unsafe and can even cause a miscarriage. I immediately decided not to touch it. It's just not worth the risk, please talk to your gynac for safe pain relief.
No, please stay away from guggul. It can stimulate the uterus, which is very risky and can lead to complications. Stick to normal, safe foods and always verify any herbal medicine with your doctor before taking it.
Guggul? Actually even I was looking into Ayurvedic supplements last month, but my family asked me to stop. From what I know, it is not considered safe at all because it can cause contractions. Has any doctor specifically suggested this to you?
Absolutely do not take guggul, it can cause severe complications like uterine bleeding or contractions. I had a very difficult pregnancy with complications, and my doctor warned me to never take any Ayurvedic herbal supplements without asking them first. Please run it by your doctor.
