how to take shatavari powder in pregnancy - #25743
I am a bit worried and need some help figuring out how to take shatavari powder in pregnancy. I recently came across it while searching for natural ways to boost my health during this time, especially since I've been feeling kind of low energy and, well, I heard shatavari is great for that! My cousin used it while she was pregnant and swore by its benefits, but she didn’t really delve into the details of how she took it. I tried some in a smoothie, but honestly, the taste wasn't great, and I'm not sure if that's the best way. I've read mixed opinions on whether it’s safe to take, especially in the first trimester when everything feels so sensitive, ya know? Should I mix it with other things? Like, does it work better with milk or honey? I'm also concerned about dosing—like how much shatavari powder should I take daily? I'm 12 weeks along and just want to ensure I'm doing the right thing for me and the baby… any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Uttarbasti for female infertility - #2907
I’ve been struggling with infertility for the past three years, and my Ayurvedic doctor recently recommended uttarbasti for female infertility. Has anyone here tried this treatment? I’ve read that it’s an Ayurvedic therapy that involves cleansing and strengthening the reproductive system, but I’m nervous because it sounds quite invasive. My issue is irregular periods and possible hormonal imbalance. Tests haven’t shown any major blockages or problems, but I haven’t been able to conceive. The doctor suggested uttarbasti for female infertility as a way to balance hormones and improve uterine health. How exactly does uttarbasti work, and is it painful or uncomfortable? Also, how many sessions of uttarbasti are usually needed for female infertility treatment? I’ve heard that it involves herbal medicines being introduced into the uterus, but I don’t fully understand the procedure. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of? If you’ve undergone uttarbasti for female infertility, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it help you conceive, and how long did it take to see results? Any tips for preparing for the procedure or aftercare would be appreciated too.
