Mulethi in pregnancy - #3150

Anonymously

I’m currently pregnant and was wondering if mulethi in pregnancy is safe to consume. I’ve been having throat irritation and read that mulethi is great for soothing the throat, but I’m unsure about its effects during pregnancy. Does mulethi in pregnancy have any risks or benefits? I’ve heard it can be helpful for digestion and immunity, but I’ve also seen warnings about its potential to raise blood pressure or cause other issues. Should it be avoided altogether, or can it be consumed in moderation? If you’ve used mulethi during pregnancy, how did you take it – as tea, powder, or some other form? Did it help with pregnancy symptoms like nausea or heartburn? I’d love to know what precautions to take if it’s safe to use.

Mulethi (licorice) is commonly used in Ayurveda for throat irritation, but during pregnancy, it should be consumed with caution. It has benefits like soothing the throat and improving digestion, but excessive intake may lead to elevated blood pressure, fluid retention, or hormonal imbalances. It’s generally safe in small amounts, such as in teas, but it’s important to avoid overuse. Always consult your healthcare provider before using mulethi, especially during pregnancy, to ensure it won’t interfere with your health or pregnancy.
