Garlic and Pregnancy


Recent research shows that consuming this herbs during pregnancy reduces the risk of pregnancy complication pre-eclampsia (increased blood pressure protein in the urine).

The studies also revealed that herbs also help boost weight than babies who are too small. Research conducted by Dr. D. Sooranna, Ms. J. Hirani and Dr. I Das in the Academic Department of Obsterrics and Gynaecology, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London UK. They concluded that although pre-eclampsia and growth retardation is a complex condition, consuming garlic in a standard tablet during pregnancy can reduce the possibilities of complications at birth. They focus on growth retardation in infants and pre-eclampsia, a condition which is very dangerous for mother and child that occurs in approximately one in ten pregnancies.

Experiments showed that adding extracts of these herbs on plaasenta cells are likely to suffer from those conditions shown to stimulate growth. Furthermore, the activities of important enzymes are reduced in abnormal pregnancies is also greatly improved by granting garlic.
