I love adding laung in my chai and sabzi, its been a habit for years. Someone told me garam cheezein should be avoided in pregnancy so now im confused. Is thoda bit okay or better to skip completely?
Cloves in normal food or tea are perfectly fine. Just don't start taking concentrated clove oil or eating them in large quantities. A little bit of spice in your food is healthy.
I had cloves in my daily tea throughout my pregnancy and had a very smooth normal delivery. It is completely safe when used as a spice in food. Just enjoy your meals and keep a positive mind!
I can only share what I did—I used to put one clove in my morning tea when I had acidity, and it suited me well. But everyone's body is different, so if you are unsure, just skip it or check with your doctor during your next visit.
I am also hoping to conceive soon, and my mother told me that using a little clove in cooking is very healthy. It's just a normal spice, so having a little bit in your meals should be absolutely fine, but we can always ask our elders or doctor to be sure.
Cloves were a lifesaver for me when my morning sickness was bad! Chewing on a single clove or having clove tea really helped with that metallic taste in my mouth. Just keep it in moderation, like one a day is more than enough.
Arey, don't stress too much about small things! Having one or two cloves in your biryani or chai is totally fine and actually helps with digestion. Just don't go eating them like medicine or in huge amounts, and you'll be absolutely okay.
