cold remedies
I am in need of healthful ways to improve my sinus cavities. sore throat and eye headaches are plaguing me on and off. no actual medications - doc said I'm not allowed those kinds of medications through the first trimester. oh yeah, for those who didn't read through the end of the previous post that seemed to only be a questionnaire... we're expecting. and for that same reason, no herbal remedies.
it's late, and I'm tired. so that's all I'm gonna write tonight after spending some time catching up on my post reading.

Try a neti pot (I have the sinucleanse system). It's gross, but it helps. Also, if you can do benedryl (I did in pregnancy) it helps me. I take one at night when I start feeling allergy symtoms (which quickly become sinus issues if not dealt with). Local cold packed honey can help also (you can find it at wild oats or local health stores). Also a humidifier really helps me. I also drink a lot of airborne, but vit. C could help just as much (I think airborne would be safe in pregnancy, but you could check with your doc). Hope that helps:)
A humidifier might help... but all of my other suggestions are medicines.
Hello Mrs. L,
You made your site so simple yet elegant. I see that you are expecting. Congratulations! I am reminded of an appropriate scripture: 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. (1Thessalonians 5:3) (NIV)
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site to help people to really get to know what God’s plans are for us, especially in these troubled times.
Ooo, I made a homemade version of the neti pot out of a drinking straw and a ziploc. (Okay, I'm weird and cheap.) I think it's been really helpful to me. So I second a neti pot.
Did anything work?
