Tahira Kashyap reveals she was in ICU after suffering from Bottle Gourd Toxicity. What is it?

Tahira Kashyap took to Instagram to share her scary ordeal after getting diagnosed with Bottle Gourd Toxicity.

Tahira Kashyap talked about Botte Gourd Toxicity.

We have all heard about the benefits of having a bottle gourd. The vegetable in any form is extremely beneficial for heart health and also regulates blood pressure. It is also a rich source of iron, vitamins and potassium. However, we all should be aware of the fact that everything is good in moderation and one should never experiment with their bodies. Author and filmmaker Tahira Kashyap took to Instagram to share a similar scary ordeal after suffering from Bottle Gourd Toxicity.

Tahira uploaded a video in which she talked about how bitter bottle gourd juice one morning landed her in the ICU because of food poisoning. She informed about how she always used to have a concoction of turmeric, bottle gourd and amla. However, that day, she felt a certain bitter taste and suffered from bouts of vomiting with her blood pressure dropping to dangerous levels.

“Sharing deets as doctors also asked me to spread the awareness around too. I have picked my phone on all those who I know have the green juice. Bottle gourd toxicity has dire consequences, and dire is an understatement. Please read in between the lines. It’s lethal. In the name of health, just don’t keep popping juices! There was a reason why I was in the ICU for the same. I don’t want to divulge more gory details, but please spread the word around,” read the caption of the video.
