My mom keeps telling me to have ajwain water for gas and digestion in pregnancy. Im 5 months and bloating is real but not sure how much is safe. Anyone taking ajw?

Unnati Nayak · Answer

I was actually wondering about this because my digestion has been so bad lately. Is it really safe to drink ajwain water daily, or should we limit it?

Latika Phadke · Answer

I became extremely cautious about 'hot' foods like ajwain due to my past miscarriage. To be safe, I completely avoided drinking concentrated ajwain water and only had it in normal cooked food.

Looking back at my pregnancy days, I remember being so scared of eating anything with ajwain. Now my toddler eats everything and I realize a little bit in cooking is absolutely harmless, so relax!

Honestly, I love adding a little ajwain to my pooris and parathas for that amazing flavor! It's perfectly fine in food, just don't eat spoonfuls of it raw.

Ajwain is great for relieving pregnancy acidity, but keep it in very small quantities. Just a pinch of carom seeds in warm water is more than enough.

Kalpana Varma · Answer

My saas always made me chew a few grains of ajwain after heavy meals for gas. It really helped me, but just don't overdo it because they say it has a 'warm' effect.

While carom seeds are known to help with digestion, there is limited scientific data on having large amounts during pregnancy. It is always best to check with your doctor before taking any herbal remedies regularly.
