Hello, I am 25 years old female. I have been eating neem leaves since childhood last week I found out that I am pregnant. Should I continue eating neem leaves? Should I stop it?

@xiaoyan Hello, it is recommended that you should stop eating neem leaves as you are pregnant. Neem oil and leaves are likely unsafe and can cause a miscarriage. Neem has a plethora of benefits. However, the consumption of neem during pregnancy is not a good idea. You can use neem for external application, but chewing or swallowing during pregnancy may not be safe. You can apply it to your skin and enjoy its healing benefits and antibacterial properties. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid its use during pregnancy. Thank you.
