Elaichi in very small amounts, like in your daily tea, is generally fine and can help with mild nausea. But please don't consume it in large quantities or as concentrated extracts, as we should be very cautious with anything that can cause body heat.
Honestly, chewing on a piece of elaichi was the only thing that kept me from throwing up my guts in the first trimester! Now in my 3rd trimester, it just helps with the endless acidity. It’s totally fine in normal food amounts.
Yes, elaichi is great for digestion and nausea, and it's a very cheap, natural remedy instead of buying expensive antacids. Just stick to having one or two in your tea or food, no need to overspend on fancy herbal remedies.
Elaichi is actually great, yaar! I used to keep one in my mouth during my office commute to beat the morning sickness. It's totally safe as a mouth freshener or in daily food.
I panicked so much when I read somewhere that spices can cause issues, and I literally stopped eating everything! But my doctor laughed and said a little elaichi in kheer or tea is completely normal and safe. Don't worry at all!
