can we eat amla during periods - #25005
I am really confused about something and hope someone here can help. Recently, I’ve been trying to eat healthier and include more Ayurvedic foods in my diet, especially now that I'm getting my periods. A friend told me that amla is super good for you, but I keep hearing mixed things about whether we can eat amla during periods. Last month, I had the worst cramps and bloating, and I really focused on what I was eating. I avoided certain foods but I didn’t know how to incorporate things like amla. I’ve read that amla can help with digestion and boosts immunity, which sounds great, but does that change when you're on your period? Like, does it help or could it actually make things worse? I thought about sipping amla juice but then again, I’m worried it might cause more discomfort. My cycles are irregular, and sometimes I feel really fatigued. If someone could clarify if can we eat amla during periods or share personal experiences that would be awesome! Thanks!
