okay ladies, what do you take when you get a cold? : it started last night and so far i've just done a bunch of emergen-c. i have lots of natural remedies for when i'm not knocked up...but none of them are safe. :

Eucalyptus essential oil is great for the respiratory system if it feels like its in your lungs. If its more in your sinuses Rosemary essential oil is perfect. You can heat up some water (hot enough to give off steam but quite boiling) and then put 5-6 drops of either oil (or both) in the water. Put a towel over your head so that you make a little tent and inhale the steam. It always makes me feel so much better and both of those oils are fine for use in pregnancy. Drink a lot of hot teas and take a warm shower, massage your sinuses and lymph nodes.
