Pregnant Women Alert: Ajwain Overconsumption Risks Miscarriage, Ulcers; Expert Warns

• Ajwain (carom seeds), despite its benefits, can be harmful if consumed excessively, especially for pregnant women.
• Pregnant women, ulcer/GERD/acidity patients, liver disease patients, and those on blood pressure medication should limit intake.
• Excessive consumption can lead to uterine contractions, bleeding, miscarriage, stomach irritation, acidity, and liver toxicity.
• Dr. Geetika Sharma advises avoiding Ajwain, particularly in the first trimester and for those with existing stomach issues, due to its warm potency.
• Safe daily consumption is up to 1-2 grams; avoid excessive intake on an empty stomach or during summer to prevent increased body heat and related problems.
