My mother-in-law keeps telling me to take saffron during pregnancy. I'm a bit confused, as there are so many varieties available. Which type of saffron is considered best or most suitable for pregnant women?
Honestly, don't stress too much about finding some super fancy brand! Just buy any organic, pure Kashmiri kesar from a reliable store, and remember to use only 1-2 strands in your warm milk.
Kesar toh pure Kashmiri hi best hota hai na, humare ghar pe toh wahi use hota hai. Haan, starting ke months me avoid karna, 5th month se doodh me dalke peena shuru karna.
My mother-in-law says that genuine Kashmiri saffron is the best for health. I hope to use it too once we get our good news, just ensuring we get a trusted brand from a good shop.
I was so scared of buying fake saffron that I spent hours checking reviews online! I finally got organic Kashmiri kesar, but please make sure not to use more than 2 strands as too much can cause heat.
Look for certified organic Kashmiri saffron, and make sure it has a deep red color without yellow strands. Don't start taking it until your second trimester anyway, as it can cause body heat early on.
When I asked my doctor at Fortis, she said brand doesn't matter as long as it's pure Kashmiri kesar. She also advised waiting till the 5th month to start it, so check with your doctor first.
