pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I am expecting a baby in August of 2005! Wahe Guru!!!

 

However, I have a history of allergic rhinitis, and am usually on a steroid

nasal spray called Nasonex. During pregnancy I have been directed to not use

my nasal spray. I can try saline rinses and an over the counter drug called

Nasocrom.

 

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving my nasal congestion? It is quite

severe.

Also, any advice on kundalini yoga and pregnancy? Naturally, I want nothing

but the best for the little baby.

 

Thank You,

 

Sat Nam,

 

Ann

Congratulations, Ann!

 

I am a chronic sniffer and congestoid so I sympathize with you . Here are some

of the remedies I have found to be helpful.

 

* elecampene is excellent. Actually, if you go to your local

natural food and supplement store, there are myriad different long and short

term treatments for yr sortaproblem. just talk to one of the employees, and then

if your gut agrees with their advice, do it! ( If it doesn't, then don't buy it.

Believe me. I've been through this before.)

 

*a washcloth soaked in hot water and eucalyptus leaves or

another herbal decongestant laid over the face fora nominal period of time,

while lying down with the baby.

 

*look into getting a Neti pot - it's like a teapot but it's

actually a fine way to rinse out your sinus cavities, once you get it just

right. it does take a little practice.

 

*massage the area around your eyes (cheekbones, temples,

eyebrows and above) with some warm aloe gel, gently. concentrate on the points

that are more tender and give them a little more gentle attention.

 

*in a pinch, I make a mixture of aloe gel and ginger juice to

gently swab the inside of my nostrils with, drink a hot cup of Breathe Easy yogi

tea, and inhale the steam with yr nose.

 

 

 

Hope this helps!
