Question

Can drinking turmeric water really help prevent pregnancy or any pregnancy complications? I'm curious if it's something that could actually be effective or if there are any risks involved.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.
