Can I Take Sitopaladi in Pregnancy for Cold and Cough? - #2282
I’m currently 5 months pregnant and have been dealing with a cold and mild cough for the last few days. Normally, I would just take Sitopaladi churna with honey—it always works well for me. But now that I’m pregnant, I’m worried if it’s safe to take. I’ve read that some Ayurvedic medicines are not suitable during pregnancy, but I couldn’t find anything clear about Sitopaladi. My cough isn’t severe, but it’s irritating, especially at night. I’ve been trying things like steam inhalation and turmeric milk, but they haven’t really helped much. Some of my friends said Sitopaladi is safe because it’s herbal, but I feel nervous about taking anything without proper advice. Should I take a small dose, or would it be better to avoid it completely? If it’s safe, how much should I take, and for how long? Are there any other precautions I should follow when using Sitopaladi in pregnancy?
