Can Limestone Powder Be Taken During Pregnancy?

A pregnant woman must take chuna as a medicinal diet. Take a cup of pomegranate juice, mixed with a pinch of limestone powder in it. Mix well and take it regularly, for 9 months. Being rich in calcium, it will promote healthier growth of the baby, ensures normal delivery and will also develop intellect and sharpness in the kid. is it myth or any science?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Yes, this mixture will be beneficial as it will be rich in iron and calcium. Lime (chuna) has calcium which is required for the development of teeth and bones of the fetus. But, stay on the safe side and avoid using lime in greater amounts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
