Respected madam my mother faces frequent acidity issues … She is diabetic and gallstones… Is it safe for her… Nd one more thing my dad is a heart patient can they use it .. nd how
Anjana Chaturvedi
Hi Mansi its hard for me to comment from a medical perspective on what may be suitable for your parents, but in general anyone who is a heart patient should have less salt and in which case if you’re making this churan you’re better off being light on the salt but otherwise as all things it’s always best to consult a medical professional Thank you regards Anjana
