My MIL gave me some hibiscus tea (gudhal) and said it's good for me but i wasnt sure if i should drink it now. Im in my first trimester. Has anyone had it during pregnancy?
I love my herbal teas but during pregnancy I got picky. Hibiscus is one I left out because its not clearly safe. Natural doesnt always mean pregnancy safe na. For anything you put in your body these months, doctor ka green signal is best.
I would be careful with hibiscus tea especially in early pregnancy. I read it can affect hormones and I personally avoided it after my doctor said better not. Please run it by your gynac before drinking it regularly.
When I asked my doctor about herbal teas she said hibiscus is one of the ones she tells patients to avoid, especially in the first trimester. Using the flower in hair oil externally is different, thats usually fine. But drinking it daily, no, check with your own doc.
Dont take tension but I would skip hibiscus tea for now to be safe. Plenty of other safe drinks you can enjoy. If you really want it, just one quick word with your gynac and youll know for sure.
We use gudhal flower for hair in our home, that is on the skin only and that is okay. Drinking it like tea I have not done in pregnancy. Better you ask your doctor once before taking it inside.
