Natural Cold Remedies While Pregnant

Here are some natural remedies you can try for your cold: 

Take the following supplements (with your doctor’s approval):

◦       Vitamin D: up to 10,000 IU a day until cold subsides. 

◦       Vitamin A: up to 10,000 IU a day with doctor or midwife’s approval. (Only in the form of cod liver oil)

◦       Food Based Vitamin C: About 2000 mg spread over the course of the day. 

◦       Zinc: 50mg daily for the first two days. 

◦       Selenium: The amount in your prenatal vitamin should be enough, but you could also consume two Brazil nuts a day to boost your intake.

◦       Probiotics: Double your normal daily amount. Probiotics are wonderful for mama and baby during the entire pregnancy. And after

*Food-based vitamin C is also a great natural immune booster and strengthens the placenta and bag of water.

Home Remedies for a Cold During Pregnancy:

  • Garlic: in the onion family, garlic is a powerhouse against the cold during pregnancy. • Consume 1 crushed, raw garlic clove with each meal. If your cold is acute, eat 1 crushed, raw clove every 2-3 hours.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar alkalinizes the body, and most illnesses can’t thrive in alkaline environments. It also contains good bacteria to help fight of infection.
    • Mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (preferably raw) into water or tea and drink three times a day
    • Gargle apple cider vinegar to soothe a sore throat.
  • Honey - Raw, local honey is antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic. Take 1 teaspoon three times a day
  • Onion - Raw onion has phytochemical that help keep the respiratory tract open. Add it to your burgers/salads
  • Lemon - A known antibacterial that’s rich in vitamin C, lemon also helps alkalinize the body. 
    • Juice two lemons and add to a quart mason jar. Add filtered water and 1 tablespoon of raw honey and a dash of sea salt for added minerals. Drink throughout day.
  • Asian mushrooms  - Maitake, shiitake, and reishi mushrooms have antibacterial and antiviral properties.
  • Coconut oil - This pantry staple has antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal properties. Take a tablespoon or add to food
  • Elderberry syrup - Many pregnant mamas have great success with elderberry syrup to relieve cough and cold symptoms. (source) It’s an immune booster that can help speed up recovery. You can often find it in the natural section of your local grocery store, or you can make your own fairly easily. Make sure if you purchase it, that there are no other herbs in the syrup. 
    • Take 1 tablespoon of elderberry syrup up to four times per day.

*Stay hydrated. Stay away from caffeine because it can dehydrate you.

I’m a 37-year-old marketing consultant from Berlin, and in 2024, I invested 4.8 BTC (about €300,600) into what I believed was a legitimate opportunity through HyperVerse. It looked promising at first daily returns, active communication but within months, the platform collapsed. My Bitcoin was gone, and I realized too late it was a Ponzi scheme.

Refusing to accept the loss, I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service. Their team of crypto recovery experts carefully analyzed my case, tracked the stolen funds using blockchain forensics, and communicated with me every step of the way. After nearly four months, they recovered 3.9 BTC, around €366,200 (at the time of recovery) into a secure wallet.

While I didn’t recover everything, I got back more than I expected. If you’ve been scammed in crypto, I highly recommend Morphohack. Their professionalism and results gave me a second chance.

THE LOCAL AFRICAN HERBS ARE VERY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING HEPATITIS B, HIV, HERPES, AND SOME OF THESE SEEMINGLY INCURABLE ILLNESSES

My name is Jose Celestino Ruiz. I had already given up on ever getting cured of Hepatitis B because i have tried many treatments and none of them worked out for me. I have even gone to different hospitals and they always tell me same thing, that there was no cure for Hepatitis B. Few weeks ago, i was going through the internet, then i came across a post about Dr.O.Water on the internet. It was a lady in England who he had cured of Diabetes, that was telling her story and recommending him. I took up his information from there and contacted him. He assured me that he could cure Hepatitis B, i told him that this was the first time someone is telling me that Hepatitis B can be cured and i am going to give it a try. I got his herbal medicine, and I used it just the way he instructed. I doubted at first because i have been to a lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. But it felt like this was going to be the ultimate solution I have been praying for, so i didn’t want it to slip away. I commenced treatment with Dr.O.Water and used his products just as he had directed, and under 3 weeks i was completely healed and healthy, i felt very fine and all the symptoms were gone. I have gone for a test and i have been declared negative and free from Hepatitis B. I want to say a very big thank you to Dr.O.Water for what he has done in my life. Feel free to write him on email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM and also whatsapp +234-905-020-5019. thank you

Bianca Ngwanya

My name is Bianca Ngwanya from South Africa. I will love to tell everybody on this blog how my status changed from hiv positive to negative, and i am now a living witness of it. HIV has been on going in my family. I lost both parents to hiv, and i have not been able to get over the pain. As we all know, medically there is no solution to hiv. Few months ago, someone introduced me to a native medical practitioner online called DR.WATER. I showed him all my tests and results. I was already diagnosed with hiv and it was already taking its toll on me. I had spent thousands of rands on other medicines before, but yet i decided to try him out. i was on his dosage for 3 weeks. Although i didn’t believe in it, i was just trying it out of frustration. After the 3 weeks, i went for new tests. And you won’t believe that 5 different laboratory results have confirmed it that i am negative. It was like a dream, i never believe HIV has a cure.  I just want to help others in anyway i can, i have included DR.WATER’s Whatsapp number and email at the end of this message. I have joined many forums and i have posted this testimonies and a lot of people have contacted DR.WATER through me and they were also negative after using his medicine. BBC news even published it live that DR.WATER can cure even Hepatitis, Coronary artery, Cancer,  Herpes, HPV, Asthma, Diabetes and many others. Everybody saw it and it is now out in some papers and magazines.
