I've been feeling a bit unwell and my nani is suggesting some ayurvedic medicines. I'm in my first trimester and concerned if they are truly safe for me and the baby. What do you all think about ayurveda during pregnancy?
I felt so tempted to try Ayurvedic remedies for my digestion, but my doctor strictly told me to avoid OTC herbal medicines during pregnancy. It's always safer to trust your gynecologist's prescription.
After going through so much during IVF, I chose to avoid anything that wasn't strictly prescribed by my specialist. Please discuss any Ayurvedic remedies with your doctor first to keep your precious baby safe.
I love home remedies like ginger tea or warm milk, but when it comes to actual Ayurvedic tablets or powders, please ask your doctor first to avoid any risks.
I always tell everyone, please check with your gynac first. Even if it says 'natural' or 'ayurvedic', it might not be safe for the baby. Your doctor knows best.
Please be extremely careful. I lost a pregnancy before, so I became hyper-cautious. Some Ayurvedic medicines can contain heavy metals or strong herbs, so please never take them without asking your gynecologist first.
Don't assume 'natural' means safe. Many Ayurvedic formulations are very strong and not tested for pregnancy, so consult your gynac before taking anything.
Ghar ke gharelu nuskhe like haldi doodh or ajwain are fine, but packaged Ayurvedic medicines can be risky. Better stick to the iron and calcium tablets your doctor gave you.
