Tulsi during pregnancy
I am 15 weeks pregnant. 10 days back I got cold and blocked nose. I used home remedies like salt water gargle,honey,tulsi leaves and a decoction made of clove,black pepper,ginger and 4-5 basil (tulsi)leaves. Does consuming tulsi leaves safe during this time? Are the contents of decoction mentioned above safe too? I took the decoction and tulsi with honey for 5 days and as there is little cough till now, so I took tulsi again for last 3 days once in the morning with honey. Kindly let me know whether it is okay or not?

You have taken perfect treatment, nothing will occur to your baby. But you should go for ultrasound for fetal well being.
