I really enjoy the flavour of elaichi in my tea and desserts. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's safe to eat elaichi during pregnancy. Is there any restriction?
Elaichi is perfectly fine to consume in moderation, like in your meals or tea. It has natural carminative properties which actually helps with pregnancy bloating and gas. Just avoid taking concentrated extracts or therapeutic doses, and you are good to go.
Beta, humare ghar pe toh hamesha acidity aur nausea ke liye elaichi chabane ko bolte hain. It is a very good natural remedy for morning sickness. Just take one or two pods in a day, don't eat too much of it as excess of anything is not good during these days.
Of course dear, you can eat elaichi, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. It is actually great for calming your stomach and fresh breath. Just have it in normal food quantities and stay relaxed, you are doing perfectly fine.
Honestly, I am no expert so please ask your doctor if you are unsure, but I had elaichi tea almost every day during my pregnancy. It really helped settle my stomach after meals. I never faced any issues with it personally.
I totally get why you are asking, during my pregnancy I used to double check every single herb and spice out of fear! But honestly, elaichi is very safe in food amounts. It actually helped me deal with my constant nausea, so don't worry about having it in your food.
Yeah, obviously you can have elaichi, it's completely fine. Just don't go consuming it in huge amounts or as some weird supplement. A little bit in your daily chai or kheer is absolutely safe and actually helps with digestion too.
