Pregnancy is particularly difficult when you have headaches, back pain or colds. You look for quick but gentle help because you want to protect yourself and your unborn child.
Some things in naturopathy can be used during pregnancy to support a faster recovery. Rest is particularly important when suffering from headaches.
Try to consciously spend more time in nature.
Fresh air and a walk in nature are very important not only for the body but also for the psyche. You should also make sure to drink enough fluids and avoid unnecessary stress.
Many women suffer from back pain during pregnancy, but this usually disappears after the birth. But sometimes the pain can last throughout the entire pregnancy. Back pain during pregnancy or in the pelvic floor between the buttocks and the iliac crest is not uncommon. Gymnastic exercises, yoga for pregnant women and gentle massages can soothe the heavily strained muscles.
After consultation with a midwife or gynecologist, baths with natural extracts such as hay flower and natural spruce can relax the muscles and counteract back pain.
However, Hay Flower Baths should be used towards the end of pregnancy, as they loosen the pelvic floor and can also stimulate labour.
Many women have already had very positive experiences with Hay Flower Baths to relieve tension, improve blood flow to the tissue and relax the muscles. They can also help to avoid an episiotomy.
Cold during pregnancy
Nothing is more unpleasant than a bad cold during pregnancy. You want to be back on your feet and breathing freely as quickly as possible. But most well-known medications cannot or should not be taken during pregnancy.
What helps anyway?
First and foremost, you should drink a lot, preferably hot drinks. This will compensate for the fluid loss through sweating, and it will also help to liquefy the mucus. Please make sure that you drink teas and that they are also suitable for use during pregnancy.
Other home remedies for colds are:
Vinegar patches for fever, inhalation with saline solution or Camomile Extract. Rinsing with salt water helps against a cold. Cold baths are also a real treat. Natural spruce and thyme have a positive effect on the respiratory tract and make breathing easier. However, we recommend discussing this with your doctor or midwife beforehand, as every pregnancy is different and the health of the woman and child is the most important thing.
Enjoy this special time and stay healthy!
