Why Pregnant Women Should Avoid Bay Leaves: A Doctor's Answer
Bay leaf is a popular spice that many people are accustomed to adding to various dishes.
However, few people know that such a product can have a positive effect on the state of the immune system and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Besides this, it relieves skin problems and other problems.
However, during an interview for Radio Sputnik, Dr. Andrei Stepensky admitted that the spice has a negative impact on the health of pregnant women.
It is also necessary to remember some contraindications.
"Peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum is a contraindication for taking bay leaf, because this spice can irritate the mucous membranes. During pregnancy, bay leaf should not be consumed in large quantities," Stepansky added during a conversation with the press.
In addition, if you want to prevent health problems, it is better to consult with your doctor before adding bay leaf to your food.
