I love adding mint to my chai and a few dishes, especially in the summers. I'm pregnant, and I want to confirm if mint is safe during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
After my past loss, I became very scared of herbs. Mint in small amounts like in normal green chutney or lemon water is safe, but please avoid concentrated mint tea or extracts just to be safe.
I also got super worried about mint because some articles say weird things. To be safe, just use a few leaves for flavor in your chaas or lemonade, don't eat too much of it.
Dude, pudina was my life saver when I felt like puking every morning! Now I'm just sleep-deprived trying to put my baby to sleep, but yeah, normal mint chutney is totally fine.
Moderate intake of mint in daily food is generally considered safe. However, for any therapeutic use or herbal supplements, it's always best to consult your doctor first.
I personally used to drink pudina lemonade daily to deal with my terrible morning sickness. It was the only thing that worked for me and caused no issues at all.
