We use haldi in pretty much every sabzi at home and my saas keeps adding extra in milk also. Now im 5 weeks and suddenly thinking is this much turmeric ok or not? Anyone knows na?
Beta, turmeric is a natural healer, but during pregnancy, you have to be very gentle. A small pinch in warm milk once in a while is great for throat irritation, but don't drink it every single day. Stick to normal home-cooked food and always listen to your doctor if they advise against anything.
Actually, I am also trying to conceive and was wondering about this last week. My mother told me a tiny pinch of haldi in warm milk is totally okay, but we shouldn't take too much of it. I feel a bit shy asking my doctor about such basic things, but staying moderate is probably safest.
Oh, I felt so anxious about this during my first trimester and almost stopped eating haldi altogether! I was so scared because people told me it is too hot for the body. But then my doc reassured me that normal kitchen use is totally fine and actually protects from minor infections.
Please be extremely careful about what you consume right now. After my previous miscarriage, I became super paranoid and stopped everything hot-natured, including heavy turmeric drinks. A normal pinch of haldi in your daily dal is absolutely safe, but please check with your gynac before taking any extra home remedies.
Ghar pe meri saas always makes haldi-doodh for any small cold or body pain, so she insisted I keep having it. My doctor said using a little haldi in daily cooking and routine milk is completely safe and healthy. Just don't go eating raw turmeric or heavy supplements, na.
