Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Planta herbácea procedente de la India. Se utiliza el fruto con fines culinarios y terapéuticos.
Contiene almidón, ácidos grasos, compuestos terpénicos, flavonoides, taninos, saponinas, fitosteroles y alcaloides (Fitoterapia.net 2020).
Propiedades atribuidas tradicionalmente, sin que haya pruebas científicas de su eficacia (WHO 2009 p61-70): carminativo, estimulante del apetito, antiemético, diurético, abortivo, sedante y antiinfeccioso.

A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados sobre su excreción en leche materna.

Planta ampliamente utilizada como especia culinaria y en medicina tradicional ayurvédica. Hay muy pocos datos publicados sobre el uso terapéutico de esta planta. Dada su falta de toxicidad (WHO 2009 p61-70), el consumo moderado sería compatible con la lactancia.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
