My saas keeps making this guava leaf kadha type tea and says its good for digestion. Im 5 months and thoda confused if its safe to drink daily during pregnancy. anyone tried it?
Beta, during my time we used to use guava leaves for basic cough, but during pregnancy we must be very careful. Stick to simple warm milk with a pinch of haldi or just plain ginger-lemon water if you feel uneasy.
I always prefer home remedies for small issues, but guava leaves can sometimes be too strong for the uterus. If u have severe stomach issues or acidity, better to talk to your gynac instead of self-treating with these teas.
With my hectic office schedule I barely have time to experiment with these herbal teas. Just stick to basic safe drinks and if you really want to try it, shoot a quick WhatsApp to your doctor.
I actually researched this online and my gynac clearly said that herbal teas like guava leaf don't have enough safety data for pregnant women. She strictly advised me to stick to normal milk tea or clear soups.
Honestly, God has made this beautiful phase so just stay positive and take care of your health first. I would avoid any heavy herbal drinks like guava leaf tea right now and just stick to warm water or light ginger tea to be safe.
After going through severe bleeding in my first trimester, I became extremely cautious about what I eat or drink. Don't take any risks with herbal teas like guava leaf, please confirm with your doctor first before sipping.
