I often feel a bit nauseous, and I was thinking of having some mint tea or a mint candy. Is mint considered safe or even good to have during pregnancy for morning sickness or just generally?
No need for fancy stuff, just put a few fresh pudina leaves in your water bottle daily. It keeps the water smelling fresh and prevents that bloated feeling.
I used to panic thinking mint is 'hot' for the body and might cause issues. But my gynac assured me it's actually very cooling and completely normal to consume.
Oh, pudina chutney with hot pakoras or samosas is absolute heaven during pregnancy! It adds such a refreshing kick and also helps digest all the tasty food.
Yes, natural mint leaves are great for soothing stomach cramps and nausea. Just stick to culinary amounts like in tea or food, and avoid any concentrated mint essential oils or supplements.
If you are suffering from morning sickness, try chewing a few fresh mint leaves or sipping warm mint tea. It is very gentle on the stomach and totally safe.
I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't keep anything down. Sucking on mint candies or drinking mint-infused water was one of the few things that actually gave me relief.
Personally, having pudina chaas (buttermilk with mint) during my second trimester was the only thing that cured my burning chest. It worked wonderfully for me.
