Remembering when your sick...

Oh Man! So this week I got a major sinus infection..Totally bites! Being pregnant I am not sure what I can or can't take and I'll be the first to say no to any medication..knowing the consequences it could have on my baby. Well, after spending 2 days feeling like I was dying..can't breat,sleep, and everything hurt! (We wont talk about coughing and sneezing while pregnant) I went to see my nutritionalist who gave me an aromatherapy treatment and oil and a herb that has near kicked my old. Last night was the first night I was able to sleep comfortably and not wake my poor husband with my tossing and turning. I highly recommend Theives oil. You can get it on Amazon. Its a bit pricey but so worth it. I put it on my neck before bed and used it in a difuser. IT opens your passage ways and kills the bad bacteria/viruses in your nose! Its wonderful and it isn't harming the baby. (even better) My nutritionlist also reminded me of Chicken soup! (how could I forget!) The important properties that chicken soup has besides being yummy and a comfort food (for me anyways) is very healing. When you take a chicken (whole;with bone) and boil it making your own stock is very important. The minerals and vitamins you get from the chicken stock helps fight off colds and builds your immune system! So if your not feeling good make a pot of old fashion chicken soup! You'll be feeling better before you know it!! All I do is boil a whole chicken then add all kinds of veggies. Don't forget the garlic! and let it boil together...then enjoy!! adding noodles or rice is ok but your body is trying to heal and if it has to break down a carb it has to focus on breaking that down too.
