At home we sometimes drink dhaniya water for digestion and swelling. Now that I am pregnant, I am not sure if I should continue it. Has anyone asked their doc about this?
While I was very mindful of my diet and supplements, I always checked with my doctor for anything beyond regular spices. So, for normal culinary use, it should be fine, but if you're thinking of it for medicinal purposes, please consult your gynac first. That's what I did for all my herbs.
Given my history of complications, my doctor always told me to be careful with any herbs, even common ones, especially in concentrated forms. So, for cooking, small amounts are usually okay, but if it's about consuming them regularly or in large quantities, please ask your doctor. Don't take any risks.
During both my pregnancy and while breastfeeding, I kept my diet very simple. Coriander as a spice in food is fine, but for medicinal uses, I'd strongly advise you to check with your doctor. Our bodies are very sensitive during this time, so best to be cautious.
I used coriander seeds normally in my daily cooking, like in dal and sabzi, throughout my pregnancy. I never had any issues with it. But I didn't take them in any concentrated form or for any specific health benefit. Only as a spice.
Ho na, coriander seeds as part of normal cooking, for flavour, are generally considered safe. But taking them in large quantities as a medicine or for any specific purpose, that's something you should definitely ask your gynac about. Better safe than sorry, na?
