is amla good in pregnancy - #24033
I am feeling a bit confused about something and hoping you all could help me out. I’m about 5 months along and have been hearing a lot about amla lately. Like, everyone seems to think it’s this superfood, right? But I keep wondering, **is amla good in pregnancy?** I tried having some amla juice last week. I thought it would be great for boosting my vitamin C, but my mother-in-law freaked out and said it might not be safe. Then I looked up some info and got even more confused. Some places say it can help with digestion which I really need right now, but then I saw something mentioning its effects on the uterus. Ugh, why is this so complicated? I want to be healthy but also don't wanna take any risks! Are there any studies or, like, traditional wisdom on **is amla good in pregnancy** from Ayurveda? I’d really appreciate any experiences or insights you might have. Thanks!

Why Are My Nipples So Sensitive, and Should I Be Worried? - #15628
For the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that my nipples have been unusually sensitive. Sometimes it’s just a mild discomfort, but other times, they feel sore or irritated even when I’m wearing loose clothing. I’m trying to figure out if this is normal or if I should be concerned. I read that nipple sensitivity can be caused by hormonal changes, friction from clothes, or even diet. But how do I know what’s actually causing mine? I haven’t changed my skincare products or laundry detergent, so I don’t think it’s an allergic reaction. Could stress or dehydration play a role? Another thing that worries me is whether nipple sensitivity could be a sign of something more serious, like a hormonal imbalance or even a breast-related issue. Should I be getting this checked out, or is it something that comes and goes naturally? I started looking into Ayurveda to see if there are natural ways to balance hormones and reduce breast tenderness. I found that Shatavari and Ashwagandha are good for hormone regulation—has anyone used these for similar issues? Do they actually help with nipple sensitivity? If anyone has experienced this before, what helped? Did you make any lifestyle changes that made a difference? I just want to figure out if this is something normal or if I need to take action.
