thefussymama.com/the-best-cold-and-allergy-remedies-for-pregnant-and-nursing-mamas Allergies and colds are tough enough, but when you’re pregnant or nursing, your options for safe remedies and medications to treat them can feel extremely limited.After five and a half years of treating colds and year-round seasonal allergies (thanks, Texas!) while pregnant and/or breastfeeding, I know how hard it can be to find safe, natural, and effective options. During this time I’ve sought out the expertise and experience of many doctors, midwives, naturopaths, and herbalists to build up an arsenal of safe options. Now I’m sharing them here with you!
Everyone goes through cold and flu season at some point in time in their lives. Currently I'm in my cold and flu season era... Well at the tail end of it. And growing up I always had access to herbs and Chinese medicine. This is what my sister and I both grew up on, and honestly we didn't know anything else.

So here are a list of items I highly recommend if you are in your cold and flu season era, some of which date back centuries, and have been passed down from ancestor to ancestor.
May these remedies, ingredients and natural plants heal you 🌿💚
