I use rosemary sometimes in cooking and also have a rosemary oil for hair. Now im 3 months pregnant and suddenly thinking is it ok to keep using? Thoda doubt aa gaya, anyone know about this?
Honestly, I can barely stand the smell of most herbs right now in my third trimester, so rosemary is out of the question for me anyway! But joke aside, having a tiny bit in your pasta is okay. Just don't go drinking rosemary tea or using its essential oil.
Since I had a risky pregnancy, my doctor told me to stay away from strong herbal oils and teas entirely. It is better not to take any unnecessary risks with herbs like rosemary. Do consult your doctor before you try any such ingredients.
A little bit of rosemary as a herb in your normal food is absolutely fine, dear. Just pray, eat simple meals, and stay positive. Avoid using concentrated rosemary oils or extracts, and keep your mind peaceful.
According to research, rosemary in culinary amounts used for flavor is completely safe. However, medicinal doses or essential oils should be strictly avoided as they can stimulate uterine contractions. Your doctor's advice is always the safest bet.
I always advise being extra careful about herbs during pregnancy. While a small amount used in cooking is generally fine, rosemary supplements or oils can be risky. Please check with your gynac before consuming or using anything herbal.
In our family, we usually stick to simple traditional spices like cumin and turmeric during this time. My mother-in-law advised against trying new western herbs, which actually makes sense. Better to consult your gynac if you really want to use rosemary.
