Yes, it is totally fine in normal food amounts, like in your biryani or chai. Just don't start using clove supplements or oils without asking your doc. No need to overthink every single spice, honestly.
A little bit in food is fine but don't take it in large quantities or as a medicine. I had thyroid issues throughout my pregnancy so I had to be super regular with my doc checkups and blood tests. Always best to ask your gynac about these herbal remedies just to be safe.
I actually had a bad toothache last week and was thinking of using clove oil, but got too scared. Is normal clove in tea safe or should we avoid it completely? Please let me know if u have tried it.
From what I researched, cloves are totally safe when used as a spice in food. But my doctor specifically told me to avoid concentrated clove oil or supplements because they can cause uterine contractions in high doses. Stick to normal cooking amounts and u will be fine.
I just delivered my baby girl two months ago and honestly, I used to put one clove in my morning ginger tea for nausea. It really helped with my morning sickness and my doctor said a tiny amount in food is perfectly fine. Just don't go chewing them whole all day.
