I know we worry about every single herb we put in our mouth, it's so stressful! A little bit of saunf is generally safe and actually helps with digestion and gas. Trust your instincts and ask your doc if it makes you feel safer.
I panicked so much when I accidentally ate a sweet saunf mixture at a restaurant! But my doctor laughed and said a little fennel for mouth freshening is completely normal and harmless. Don't worry, a small pinch is absolutely fine.
Honestly, eating a pinch of saunf after meals was the only thing keeping my mouth tasting normal, otherwise everything tasted like cardboard. Just don't go eating bowls of it. Ask your doctor if you're paranoid, but a tiny bit is totally fine.
I used to have a tiny bit of fennel after my meals to help with digestion, along with my regular 30-minute post-meal walks which my doctor had permitted. Just make sure you aren't consuming too much of it. Keep your lifestyle active and clean!
My hospital nutritionist told me that having a few fennel seeds (saunf) after meals for digestion is perfectly fine, but avoid concentrated fennel tea or supplements. I always cleared every diet query with the clinic's support staff first. Please check with your team too if you have concerns.
Oh, saunf actually saved me from that constant metallic taste and nausea in my first trimester. I just chewed on a few seeds whenever I felt sick. Just don't consume it in large quantities or as a medicine.
