A. Do not consume basil seeds during pregnancy, however. This is advised against by many gynaecologists and doctors as they can have uterine contractions, which can further result in miscarriage. Further, the seeds can also increase the flow of blood and hence stimulate menstruation.However,Basil leaves in pregnancy has a lot of benefits that make it an excellent herbal supplement for pregnant women. Although an overdose of it can irritate the uterus, so it is advised for a pregnant woman, not to have more than two basil leaves in a day. Basil being rich in vitamin K, plays a vital role in making sure that your health remains good and your baby is safe inside your womb during the pregnancy period. You can certainly eat basil leaves during pregnancy directly; however, make sure you wash them properly before eating them. The germs present might have adverse effects on your body.
