Ma keeps telling me to have kulekhara saag for hemoglobin, in Bengali ghar it's like a must. But not sure if it's fine now that im pregnant. Anyone from Bengal eating it during pregnancy?
It is traditionally used for iron, but during pregnancy, it's best to stick to foods like spinach, beetroot, and what your doctor prescribes. Stay safe!
My mom always made beetroot juice and spinach soup for my hemoglobin. We didn't try Kulekhara because we didn't want to take any chances without the doctor's okay.
When you're pregnant, everything you consume affects the baby. Since Kulekhara is very strong, it's safer to avoid it unless your doctor specifically says yes.
If you have low hemoglobin, just ask your doctor for safe iron supplements. It's much quicker and safer than trying to source and prepare traditional herbs like Kulekhara.
Honestly, I had low iron too but I only took the iron tablets my doctor prescribed. I avoided herbal remedies like Kulekhara just to be on the safer side.
Oh, please don't take any local herbs without asking your doctor! Pregnancy is so sensitive, even natural things can sometimes cause reactions or contractions.
Kulekhara is amazing for hemoglobin, but during pregnancy you should be very careful because of its hot potency. Definitely ask your gynaecologist before starting it.
I felt so worried about my low hemoglobin, and someone suggested Kulekhara. But I preferred checking with my doctor first rather than risking anything during my pregnancy.
