The 6th and 7th months of pregnancy are when mothers may experience water retention and pedal edema (swelling in the feet). To help manage this, Ayurveda recommends herbal supplements that aid in flushing out excess water. One such herb mentioned in Ayurvedic texts is Gokshura, which should be taken only under a doctor’s guidance, as it requires specific processing for proper absorption and effectiveness. Other herbs, like Prithakparnyadi drugs, are also noted for their benefits in reducing water retention.
