My mom keeps telling me to take kumkumapoovu (saffron) and im a bit confused about the right time to start it. Im currently in my 5th month. From which month do people usually take it? Pls share.
Generally, kumkumapoovu (saffron) is taken from the second trimester, around 5th or 6th month. You just need a few strands in warm milk. Don't go overboard, it's a potent spice. Always best to ask your gynac if you have any doubts, no harm in double-checking.
Beti, kumkumapoovu is traditionally given from the seventh month onwards, or even in the last trimester. My elders always said it's for healthy baby and good complexion. Just two-three strands in a glass of warm milk, not more. But definitely, check with your doctor, what's good for one person may not be for another.
Oh, kumkumapoovu! I've heard so much about it. Is it true it helps with the baby's complexion? I was wondering when is the best time to start taking it, and how much is safe. So curious about all these traditional practices!
I just delivered a few months back, and my mom insisted I take kumkumapoovu. I started around my 6th month, just two strands in warm milk every night. My doc said it was fine, mostly for relaxation and it has some antioxidants. Didn't cause any issues for me.
Don't stress too much about this, love. Kumkumapoovu is a common traditional thing. Most people start having it in their second or third trimester, typically a few strands in milk. It's believed to help calm you and with baby's complexion. Just mention it to your gynac at your next appointment, they'll give you a clear go-ahead based on your health.
Kumkumapoovu is considered good for its warming properties and helps with mood and sleep, which is great during pregnancy. Many women start taking it around the second trimester. Just remember, a very small quantity is enough, don't use too much. And definitely, consult your doctor first to make sure it's right for you.
