Joseph asks…
What natural remedy against headaches can be taken during the first trimester of pregnancy?
Michelle answers:
You have 2 acupuncture points that go to the head in your hands. What you need to do is this……….the “web” between your forefinger and your thumb……..pinch that web of skin as hard as you can stand it for a few seconds and then do the other hand. It will relieve your headache 🙂 CONGRATS on your new little life…BLESSINGS !!!!
Mary asks…
I’m pregnant (1 month) and have had awful migraines but don’t want to take meds. Any good natural remedies?
I know some natural (or herbal) substances are inappropriate during pregnancy, but are there any safe ideas available?
Michelle answers:
I’m in the third month and I feel your pain! My doctor said regular tylenol is ok to take. Of course, if your like me, it doesn’t help much. Just try to rest as often as you can. Your body needs the extra rest.
I do agree with the lavender remedy. They make these stress pillow rings filled with lavender you warm up in the microwave and put on your neck. They help too, but of course resting is still needed. Good luck and congrats.
Daniel asks…
are there any natural ways to reduce crankyness or moodswings during pregnancy?
i just found out im pregnant and prior to this i was considering getting on some type of anti anxiety medication.. im wondering if there are any natural foods, remedies, or calming herbs that helped anxiety and crankyness and are safe to ingest while pregnant. also.. green tea and sushi, i consume alot of both.. do i need to cut either of those from my diet??
Michelle answers:
Try exercizing. It releases positive endorphines into your bloodstream and helps control your hormone fluctuations. Streatch, go for walks, dance, ect.
Charles asks…
What’s your remedy for pregnancy heartburn?
I have terrible heartburn and with my last pregnancy, I took lots of Tums which my doc said was ok, but I was wondering what natural remedies work just as good. Thanks!
Oh-it’s not just spicy foods I have to avoid-I get heartburn from even drinking water!! It’s everything that causes it~
Michelle answers:
OMG! I know exactly what you mean. Even if I dont eat something (when I went for a glucose test) I get heartburn. I have been drinking milk and that helps tons. And, peppermints also help. I keep those soft ones at my desk and suck on those. But, like you said water even brings it on too. So, I hope these help you. Good luck!
