Pregnancy-Herbs to help you get pregnant-THS

During pregnancy, your immunity hits an all-time low. With low immunity, it is obvious that pregnant women are more prone to allergies, diseases and illnesses, a reason why they are asked to take utmost precaution during this phase. But still, a seasonal cold and cough sometimes seem inescapable. A cold can make life a little difficult. But more than the mother the fear is of the fetus catching an infection. It is quite possible that a bug crosses the placenta from the mother to the baby and gives rise to problems in the fetus. So taking precautions during pregnancy is imperative. Since cold allergies are common during pregnancy it is necessary to take care that you don t get one. Read why you need to chew your food properly during pregnancy.

One way to ensure that you don t get a cold is to keep your nostrils clean, especially the hairy front part of your nose. If you do this you will rarely get into a sneezing spree due to cold or sinusitis. Here are ways in which you can keep your nostrils clean: Also Read - ‘Extremely essential’: Kareena Kapoor Khan on importance of yoga during pregnancy

  • To keep this part clean, apply a little ghee to the insides of both the nostrils with your little finger.
  • Twice a day, inhale tulsi powder up each nostril like snuff.
  • Clean your nasal passage by doing jala neti
  • If you have not mastered jala neti yet, try washing each nostril by holding a handful of water cupped in your palms and inhaling some water up the nose and then expelling it.

Apart from this, practice deep breathing to ensure proper blood circulation and optimum oxygen intake to help the baby get the nutrition and to keep yourself energised. Remember, lack of oxygen could also be a reason for pregnancy-induced fatigue and make one lethargic.
