My saas keeps adding ajwain to my food saying it helps digestion, im around 4 months now. But somewhere I read thoda confusion about it being warm for the body. Is it actually ok during pregnancy or should I avoid? pls share
I totally understand your worry, we want to protect our little baby from everything. Having just a pinch in your khichdi for digestion is completely okay, dear.
Look, a normal amount in your food is perfectly fine. No need to drink boiled ajwain water daily though. Keep it simple and ask your doctor if you feel unsure.
My kid is a toddler now and I remember being so paranoid about spices like ajwain! Looking back, a little bit in daily food never harms, you will be absolutely fine.
I completely understand how even eating a tiny spice makes us worry so much. A little bit of ajwain in parathas is safe, so try not to stress yourself too much.
I had a tiny bit of ajwain for acidity, but relied more on light walking after meals to aid digestion. Make sure you get your doc's okay before starting any yoga or fitness routine.
A tiny pinch of ajwain in warm water is fine for occasional gas, but don't overdo it. I saved the proper ajwain laddoos for my postpartum recovery days instead.
I felt so confused about what to eat in the beginning of my pregnancy! I had a little ajwain once for gas, but got scared and decided to stick to plain warm water.
Ajwain as a spice in your daily food is completely fine and safe. Just don't consume it in large medicinal quantities and you have nothing to worry about.
Honestly, I avoided ajwain in my first trimester because my elders said it produces body heat. Everyone's pregnancy is different, so I just stuck to very simple food.
Using a little ajwain in your normal cooking tadka is absolutely fine. Just don't go boiling huge spoons of it for heavy herbal tea without asking your gynac first.
