I usually chew tulsi leaves every morning at home for immunity. Now that im pregnant my mom told me to stop, so im a bit confused. Is it actually unsafe or ok in small amount?
Haan na, 1-2 tulsi leaves in your tea is fine but don't eat too many of them. Tulsi can sometimes cause body heat, so keep it limited. Best to ask your doctor if u want to have it daily.
I tried having tulsi tea to soothe my bad morning sickness, but it actually made me feel a bit warm inside. Having just a leaf occasionally is fine, but don't make it a daily habit without asking your doctor. Listen to what your stomach says!
Since I had a sensitive pregnancy with my PCOS background, I avoided tulsi leaves completely just to be on the safer side. It's always better to be a bit careful and discuss any herbal intake with your gynac. Stay safe!
I love my herbal teas, but I strictly avoided consuming raw tulsi leaves in large quantities. My doctor allowed only moderate tea, and even then, I checked everything with her first. Safe to keep it very minimal!
Look, eating a leaf or two in your chai is totally fine and won't harm u. But don't start eating bunches of raw tulsi as a remedy. Keep it normal and consult your doctor if u have any doubts.
I am very cautious about herbal remedies, so I'd say check with your gynac first. Tulsi has certain compounds that might not be suitable in large amounts during pregnancy. Better to avoid raw leaves and stick to standard doctor-approved diet.
