    Caffeine in Pregnancy: How Much Is “One Coffee”? Shocking Findings.

    February 24, 2025 / No Comments

    As a devoted coffee lover, I often found myself asking an important question during my pregnancy: how much coffee can I safely drink each day? Many sources suggested that “one coffee a day” was fine, but I began to wonder—what exactly does “one coffee” mean? Is a small latte equivalent to a large flat white? Does a double espresso count as one coffee or two? How many teaspoons of ground coffee can I brew at home? It turned out that caffeine during pregnancy is more complicated than I had initially thought! The Impact of Caffeine on Pregnancy: What the Latest Research Says Caffeine is a beloved staple for many, boosting…

    Eczema Relief: 9 Natural, Scientifically Proven Ways to Heal

    February 18, 2025 / No Comments

    Eczema is a challenge that many young children face. It’s understandable that parents often turn to online communities for recommendations on creams and ointments that promise relief. However, managing eczema can be a more intricate process than simply using topical treatments. It’s important to recognize that eczema is not just a skin condition; it may signal deeper issues within the body. Our skin can often serve as a mirror to our internal health, reflecting imbalances that may relate to our immune system or gut health. Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is one of the most prevalent inflammatory skin conditions affecting children. Its emergence is often linked to abnormal immune reactions to various…

    How We Treat the Flu in Our Kids Naturally

    February 1, 2025 / No Comments

    I’m writing this post during a special moment—we’ve just recovered from the flu, and for me, it was the hardest one I’ve ever experienced. As usual, our children handled it much better. Their illness lasted only two days, during which they slept a lot and had a mild fever. My eldest son is now four years old and has never taken any medication, while my younger son has had antibiotics only once. From the beginning, we have chosen to treat them naturally, using herbs, homeopathy, vitamins, and a health-supporting diet. When I was a child, every infection meant antibiotics and syrups from the doctor, along with sweets from family members…

    “The flu fighters”- @Patrick Holford’s book on natural flu and covid treatments.

    January 29, 2025 / No Comments

    In this article, we will explore @Patrick Holford’s book “Flu Fighters.” While the book is not specifically targeted at pregnant women, its approach can still provide valuable inspiration. However, it is essential to consult with a doctor or naturopath before making any decisions or taking action. @Patrick Holford is a well-known author of 44 books translated into 30 languages and the founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. His work is based on over 50 studies that confirm the effectiveness of proper nutrition in combating viral infections.

    Aromatherapy During Pregnancy and Postpartum

    January 11, 2025 / No Comments

    If you read my blog regularly, you know how important it is to avoid artificial fragrances at home, especially during pregnancy. If this is your first time here, I invite you to check out my previous post, where I discuss this topic in detail. Aromatherapy, which uses concentrated plant essential oils, can be quite controversial during pregnancy. The main reason for this is that conducting medical experiments on pregnant women is considered unethical. Consequently, most research relies on observations made on animals. While essential oils can offer numerous benefits, some studies indicate that certain oils may have toxic effects on the reproductive system. Therefore, it is essential to use essential…

    Homemade Elderberry Syrup (sambucol)

    January 11, 2025 / No Comments

    If you’ve read my previous post about natural ways to fight a cold, you’re already aware of the significance of elderberry juice. It boasts numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, diaphoretic, expectorant, diuretic, immune-boosting, and antioxidant properties. Additionally, it can help lower cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Speaking of elderberries, I remember an experience I had while picking them for syrup in a local park. I was nearly finished with my “harvesting mission” when a woman approached me. She looked at me disapprovingly and said, “These fruits belong to nature, not to you!” Clearly, she wasn’t a fan of homemade syrups. Since that encounter, I’ve been more cautious and now…

    Paracetamol in Infancy and Childhood: Hidden Risks to Brain Development

    January 2, 2025 / No Comments

    Paracetamol, known as acetaminophen in the USA, is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. In the USA, it is commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol, while in the UK, it is marketed as Calpol. It is frequently administered to infants and children and is widely available, as recommended by the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. As a result, nearly every household has it in their medicine cabinet. However, emerging evidence suggests that the use of paracetamol early in life may lead to long-term neurological issues. Paracetamol and Toxicity While paracetamol can cause liver damage in adults, studies indicate that its use during early childhood may…

    Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink in the USA, often served with whipped cream and alcohol (such as brandy or rum). However, this version is alcohol-free, making it perfect for children and pregnant women. I fondly remember my mom preparing it for me during my childhood. When I was unwell, it became a comforting ritual. This recipe is not only delicious but also rich in choline, an essential nutrient for children’s development and maternal health.

    Cranberry sauce is a perfect addition that brings elegance and exquisite flavor to many dishes. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meats and cheeses. In its luxury version, made with the addition of wine, it becomes a true culinary gem on the Christmas table. It’s also a fantastic gift idea if you’re invited to a holiday dinner in an English home. You can buy cranberry sauce at any store, but why bother when it’s so easy to make it yourself? No store-bought product, even the most expensive, can compare in flavor to the one you make at home. Homemade cranberry sauce has a depth of flavor that you won’t find in…
