Makhana is a traditional Indian snack that is widely used in traditional medicine and in a variety of Indian sweets and savory dishes. It has been used in Chinese medicine since 3000 years and is also an important part of Ayurveda. Makhana is often eaten during fasting because of its strong nutritional value. It is recommended to take 3-4 lotus seeds daily with your normal diet. However, eating too many lotus seeds can cause allergic reactions, constipation, flatulence, or bloating. If you feel any kind of problem after having lotus seeds, consult your doctor.
