I'm feeling well and my mom is okay too, but just as a precaution, we both take steam regularly at night. We usually add kalonji to boiling hot water before taking steam. I'm just a bit concerned and want to know if it's safe for us to keep doing this regularly?

I'm curious if it's safe to take 60,000 IU of vitamin D every week. With the lockdown and winter coming, I'm not getting much sun exposure. Can you advise?
Yes, taking 60,000 IU of vitamin D per week is generally safe for most people, especially if you're deficient, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation and monitor your levels. Since you're not getting enough sun exposure, this supplementation can help maintain optimal levels, but always keep track of any symptoms and consult your doctor regularly.
