At my ghar we make kashaya often, especially when weather changes. Now that im pregnant (12 weeks) im not sure if i should continue having it daily. Thoda doubt hai about the spices in it, anyone aware?
I know how tempting it is to reach for a warm home remedy when you aren't feeling well, dear. But please be very careful as your body is very sensitive right now. Just ask your doctor for safe options, you are doing a great job taking care of your baby.
Arey, kashaya bohot garam hota hai pregnancy mein, so avoid hi karo na. Agar sardi-khansi hai toh warm water ya simple ginger tea pi lo, haan? Apne doctor se bina pooche koi jadibooti mat lena.
Oh god, please skip the heavy kashayas! I drank some traditional herbal mix once thinking it would help my cold, and got the worst acidity of my life, which kept me awake all night. Trust me, you'll need all the sleep you can get right now, so avoid heavy spices!
Many kashayas contain ingredients like pepper, long pepper, or certain herbs that can increase body heat or stimulate contractions. Scientifically, it's safer to avoid traditional herbal decoctions unless specifically approved by your gynac. Doctor's advice is always best.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to make a very mild kashaya with just ginger and tulsi for my colds. But we always made sure it was very diluted and light. It felt so comforting, but do check with your elders and doctor first.
