Haldi goes in almost every dish at our ghar so im obviously eating it daily. But heard somewhere that too much isnt good in pregnancy. Is normal cooking amount ok or should i cut down?
It's so natural to worry about every little ingredient we consume for our baby's sake. Normal haldi in our Indian cooking is absolutely safe and healthy. You are doing a great job caring for your little one.
I panicked after accidentally drinking a strong cup of haldi tea, thinking it would cause issues! But my doctor laughed and said normal dietary amounts are completely harmless. Just stick to basic home-cooked food.
Looking back, I realize how much I overanalyzed daily spices! Standard amount of turmeric used in daily dal-sabzi is perfectly fine and safe. No need to stress about normal food ingredients, enjoy your meals.
I tried drinking haldi milk for my cold but my morning sickness made me throw it up immediately. If you can digest it, a small pinch in your food is perfectly fine. Don't force yourself if it triggers nausea.
Having a pinch of turmeric in your daily dal or vegetables is fine, but please don't take high doses or supplements. Always check with your gynac before starting any traditional remedies to be absolutely safe.
Beta, a pinch of turmeric in warm milk (haldi doodh) at night is very good for immunity. But do not use too much of it, just a tiny pinch is enough. Excess of anything is not good in pregnancy.
Normal food contains a safe amount of turmeric anyway, so you don't need to worry about that. I had regular home-cooked food and had a smooth, normal delivery. Just avoid high concentration haldi tablets.
