No herb-specific pregnancy/child safety research is documented for Mustard (Khardal) in our references — the guidance below is based on its general effect category, not research on Mustard (Khardal) itself. Always confirm with a midwife, doctor, or pediatrician.
Pregnancy
Use CautionThis herb has blood-thinning (antiplatelet/anticoagulant) activity. These are generally used cautiously in pregnancy and are typically discontinued in the weeks before delivery due to bleeding risk — this is a general, mechanism-based caution, not herb-specific research.
Breastfeeding
Likely SafeBlood-thinning herbs are generally considered lower-risk during breastfeeding than in late pregnancy, though caution is still reasonable, especially at concentrated doses.
Children
Use CautionBlood-thinning herbs are generally used cautiously in children, particularly around any planned surgery or dental work.
May thin the blood
Watch for: Anticoagulants (warfarin), antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel), and other blood-thinning herbs or supplements (ginkgo, garlic, fish oil, vitamin E)
Combining blood-thinning substances can increase bleeding risk, including before surgery or dental work.
