can i take ayurvedic medicine during pregnancy - #25423
I am really confused about something and hope someone can help. I just found out I’m pregnant, and it's super exciting but also a bit overwhelming. I have this long history of chronic pain and anxiety, and I usually rely on Ayurvedic medicine for relief. I read so many different things online, and I can't figure out if I can take ayurvedic medicine during pregnancy. Like, I’ve been using turmeric and ashwagandha for ages, but now I’m worried! My doctor said certain herbs might not be safe, but I’m scared to stop the Ayurvedic stuff cold turkey. I feel like it really helps with my overall wellbeing and maybe even the anxiety about the pregnancy. I’ve been trying to find a balanced approach, but there’s just so much info out there. Can I take ayurvedic medicine during pregnancy, or should I avoid it entirely? Has anyone else gone through this? Would love some real experiences or advice!
