My mom swears by neem for skin and blood purifying and keeps telling me to have it. But im only 8 weeks and feel nervous about anything during these early months. Is it okay or better to avoid for now?
Beta, neem is a strong herb and elders usually say be careful with it in early months. I would not take it as medicine during first trimester without asking. For skin and small things maybe, but pls confirm with your doctor first.
I love natural stuff but neem is one I stayed away from in early pregnancy. Used it only externally for skin once or twice. For anything you want to eat or drink, check with doc first na.
Honestly I would avoid taking any herb internally in the first trimester. This stage is delicate and I learnt that the hard way. Please just ask your gynac before consuming neem in any form.
