My mom keeps giving me saunf ka chai for gas and bloating, helps a lot honestly. But now im 5 months and wondering if its actually safe to have daily? Anyone drinks it regularly?
Look, as a mom of two, I can tell you that a pinch of saunf in your food is fine, but drinking concentrated fennel tea is not recommended. It can cause uterine contractions in large amounts. Just drink simple warm water for digestion, much safer.
Oh god, please stick to normal warm water or ginger water if u have acidity. I am so sleep-deprived right now with my newborn that even normal tea feels like a luxury, but honestly, herbal teas like fennel are better avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor says yes. Better to stay safe!
According to my pregnancy app, high doses of fennel can affect hormone levels, so concentrated fennel tea is usually a no-no during these months. For gas or bloating, the tracker recommended small walk or cumin water (jeera water) instead. Just double-check with your gynac once.
Personally, I totally avoided all herbal teas including fennel tea during my pregnancy because I wasn't sure how safe they were. I just stuck to normal coconut water or lemon juice whenever I felt bloated. Best to ask your doctor if you really want to try it.
It is best to focus on fresh fruits and light home-cooked meals right now, and stay positive. Some elders might suggest fennel for digestion, but during pregnancy, herbal teas can sometimes be too strong. Better to avoid it and keep a happy, healthy routine.
I am planning to conceive and was reading about healthy teas to try. Is fennel tea really not safe? I thought saunf was great for digestion, but now I think I will stick to normal warm water just to be safe.
My husband is in the medical field and he always says to be careful with concentrated herbal extracts like fennel tea. Normal saunf after meals is okay, but concentrated tea can act like estrogen in your body. Better ask your gynac clearly before drinking it.
