Am a Allopathic practitioner but am aware of the good effects of ayurvedic treatments.This q should be asked to ayush practioners. Yet as informed to me by few ayurvedic practioners they say to avoid Tulsi preparations in pregnancy may cause abortions.Few say they give and nothing happens.so my request when proper studies when not available we should avoid taking such preparations.U should go to a doctor and get urself checked to c if u r having an allergic dry cough or any other cause.better to know what it is and then take treatment. Sometimes in carona and other conditions also may present as dry cough.please get assessed by a dr.then go ahead.Every pregnancy is precious.And babies organs r not fully formed till 12 weeks.we don't want any problem hence we avoid unnecessary medication but where treatment required should be taken under proper medical guidance
