Bottle gourd - Most ignored Pregnancy food with big Benefits !

Meet Lauki (Bottle Gourd) – one of Ayurveda’s most recommended vegetables during Garbhavastha (pregnancy).






Here’s why every mom-to-be should give it a chance:

As per Ayurveda, lauki is: ✅ Sheetala (cooling) – helps balance aggravated Pitta
✅ Laghu (light to digest) – supports a calm digestive system
✅ Mutrala – helps reduce water retention & swelling
✅ Rich in water – keeps the body hydrated naturally.

👶 Pregnancy-Specific Benefits:

💧 Keeps you hydrated and cool

🍲 Prevents constipation when eaten cooked and warm

💚 Supports liver function and reduces pregnancy-induced acidity or bloating

😴 Helps calm the mind and support better sleep

🧠 Aids mental clarity and lightness – very important for emotional well-being during pregnancy

🥣 How to Include It Safely:
✔️ Cooked sabzi with jeera, ajwain & ghee
✔️ In soft khichdi with moong dal
✔️ In soup form for light digestion
✖️ Avoid raw lauki juice unless advised and under supervision

💡 Remember: Ayurveda values seasonal, easy-to-digest, and balancing foods during pregnancy – and lauki fits that list beautifully.

🔖 Save this & share with an expecting mom – she might thank you later 💚
