During pregnancy, it is essential to approach any form of treatment, including Ayurveda, with caution. While Ayurveda offers natural remedies for issues like constipation and fatigue, certain herbs and treatments may not be safe during pregnancy. For constipation, gentle herbs like Triphala or Senna may be recommended in small doses, but it's best to consult an Ayurvedic doctor before using them. Herbs like Ashwagandha or Shatavari are generally considered safe for pregnancy and can support energy and vitality, but their use should be monitored. Consulting with an Ayurvedic doctor is highly recommended, as they can tailor treatments specifically to your needs and ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Avoid over-the-counter remedies without professional guidance, as not all Ayurvedic formulations are suitable during pregnancy.
