Re: Update/sinus infection

[Guest guest]

Sweet sister,

When I have bronchitis or pneumonia,I sleep in my hubby's recliner. It is easier

than laying down.

If you have a recliner I suggest sleeping in that. If you don't then prop up

your pillows so you are reclining enough to sleep and up enough so you can

breathe.

If your nose is stuffed up place a drop of tea tree oil under your

nose, It will clear it out enough to breathe.

You can also use it on your chest like Vicks vapor rub. But if you are still

breast feeding the baby boy don't use it on your chest. It can make the baby

sick.

I also suggest drinking chamomile tea with honey and lemon to help you breathe

and relax. Don't use the honey if you are still breast feeding. I was told that

it was bad to drink or eat honey while breast feeding by my doctor. It had

something to do with the child

developing allergies. I can't quite remember the other reasons because I haven't

breast fed my sons in 19 years. L.O.L.

The fibro fog has affected my long and short time memory.Honey is bad for babies

that is the one thing I do remember.

Gentle hugs,

Ms.Katurah

The concern with honey is infant botulism. Therefore unpasteurized

honey should never be fed to an baby or small child.

Back home in Saskatchewan, I always bought pasteurized, creamed, honey.

I love the stuff. Here in southern Indiana, I can't find pasteurized

honey in any of the grocers. I can find whipped honey at Kroeger's,

which is close to creamed, but no pasteurized. I have no idea why.
