I totally panicked when I accidentally had some mulethi tea in my first trimester and read scary things online! But my doctor reassured me that a tiny amount won't do anything, though I should avoid it going forward. So don't worry if you had a bit, just don't have it again.
I explicitly asked my obstetrician at Max about herbal teas, and she told me to strictly avoid licorice or mulethi. If you're feeling unwell, just call your hospital coordinator and they'll get you a safe prescription quickly. Don't self-medicate with herbs.
Oh, I know how frustrating it is to deal with a bad throat when you are already dealing with pregnancy body aches. But please stay away from mulethi, dear, as it's not considered safe right now. You are doing so great, hang in there, this phase will pass soon.
Oh dear, please don't take mulethi, I read some articles saying it can affect the baby's development and I got so anxious just reading it. Even if it's a small herb, why take any chances with our precious ones? Try to stick to safe steam inhalation, hope you feel better soon!
Haha, pregnancy makes us doubt even the most basic kitchen spices, no? Honestly, leave the mulethi for now, it's a bit too strong for the little boss inside you. Stick to warm water, or use it as an excuse to get your partner to make you hot ginger chai!
I completely understand why you're asking this, when we get a cold during pregnancy, we feel so helpless because we can't take regular meds. But honestly, mulethi is best avoided right now as it can affect your hormones. Don't worry, you'll be fine, just try simple warm water gargles.
Honestly, mulethi contains active compounds that can affect cortisol levels and BP, so it's best to avoid it during pregnancy. For cough or throat issues, stick to steam inhalation and warm saline gargles. They are much safer.
When I had a terrible dry cough in my second trimester, I felt so tempted to chew on some mulethi. But I called my doctor first and she strictly said no to it. I felt really glad I checked instead of just taking it blindly.
Arre mulethi to bilkul mat lena abhi! I know cough ke liye hum sab ghar pe wahi use karte hain, but pregnancy me it's not safe. Apne doctor se koi safe cough syrup pooch lo na, wo zyada sahi rahega.
Beta, mulethi is very warm in nature, so we don't give it to pregnant girls in our family. If your throat is itchy, just boil some tulsi leaves in water, strain it, and drink it warm with a little honey. It's much safer and very soothing.
When I was staying with mummy during my pregnancy, she always made me herbal teas for sore throat but she strictly avoided mulethi. She used to say some herbs are too strong for the baby. Better to stick to simple ginger and honey warm water, beta.
Dekho, directly speaking, stop using mulethi. It's an active herb and can mess with your blood pressure. If you have a sore throat, use basic ginger tea or honey instead. Simple.
I'm in my 18th week and was just thinking of having mulethi for my bad cough, but now I'm scared! Has anyone else had a cold and found safe alternatives? I feel like I can't take anything at all and it's so frustrating!
Trust me, carrying two babies taught me that google will make you double anxious, but yes, mulethi is a big no-no. It can spike your blood pressure and we definitely don't want that drama. Stick to simple salt water gargles, they are boring but they work!
