My dadi keeps telling me to take a tiny bit of chuna in paan or water saying it helps the baby grow strong bones. These old remedies always make me unsure. Did anyone actually take chuna in pregnancy?
Beta in our times elders gave a tiny grain of chuna with something for calcium, but only a tiny amount under guidance. Too much is definitely not good. Honestly now I would tell you to ask your doctor before trying this.
This is an old home practice and I would be cautious with it. There are safe calcium tablets your doctor prescribes which are much more reliable. Better to get your calcium from food and prescribed supplements.
I wouldnt take chuna on my own honestly. If you are worried about calcium, get your levels checked and let the doctor give a proper supplement. Please dont self dose with home things during pregnancy.
