My mom keeps adding moringa to my dal and sabzi saying its full of iron and good for me now. But i wanted to confirm na, is sahjan actually safe to have regularly during pregnancy?
Honestly, don't fall for every internet trend. Moringa drumstick in normal food is perfectly fine, but don't start drinking moringa powder or teas during pregnancy. Always ask your gynac first.
I had thyroid issues so I was super careful about starting any herb. Moringa can affect hormone levels, so please consult your doctor before taking it. Regular follow-ups are the safest way to go.
With my PCOS background, I avoided trying any strong herbal remedies like moringa powder. Safe nutrition from standard foods is much better than taking risks. Ask your doctor if it's safe for your specific body.
Moringa is amazing for breast milk supply postpartum, but during pregnancy, I was told to be careful. Having a little bit of drumstick in your sambar is fine, but avoid the powder or supplements.
While moringa leaves are highly nutritious, avoid consuming the roots, bark, or flowers as they can cause uterine contractions. My husband always advises sticking to normal amounts in food like drumstick sambar, but avoid concentrated moringa supplements.
I would suggest being very careful with moringa. Large amounts can cause complications, so I completely avoided it during my pregnancy after my past loss. It's better to stick to basic safe foods recommended by your doctor.
Listen, normal drumsticks in your home-cooked food are absolutely safe and healthy. But please don't buy those fancy moringa capsules or tablets. Keep it simple and safe for your little one, okay?
