We use mulethi at home for cough and i was about to take some but then i got unsure. Im in my second trimester. Is licorice safe during pregnancy or better to avoid? dont want to take any chance.
No, it's generally advised to avoid licorice during pregnancy, especially in large amounts. It contains compounds that can affect hormone levels and might not be safe. It's better to stay away from it completely to be on the safe side. If you're looking for something for a sore throat, there are safer alternatives.
Beta, licorice, jisse mulethi kehte hain na, woh garam hoti hai. Pregnancy mein garam cheezein zyaada nahi leni chahiye. Agar gale mein kharash hai ya kuch aur hai, toh ghar pe doodh mein haldi ya adrak wali chai bana ke piyo. But mulethi se bach ke raho, it's better. Ask your MIL or mother if you need more traditional tips.
I just delivered recently, and during my whole pregnancy, my doctor and even elders in my family strictly said no to licorice. It's considered to have properties that might not be suitable for pregnant women. So, I completely avoided it. There are safer ways to deal with coughs or colds if that's why you're asking.
Hmm, I wouldn't risk it honestly. When you're already feeling so nauseous and delicate, introducing anything that might cause problems is not worth it. My gynac specifically warned me against certain herbs, and I think licorice often falls into that category for some. Stick to bland, safe foods instead.
Oh god, I remember reading about licorice and immediately got anxious because some sources said it's a big no-no! I think it's because it can affect blood pressure and hormones, so it's best to completely avoid it to be safe. It's so hard to know what's okay, but with things like licorice, I just chose to skip it entirely.
