When a diagnosis of infertility is made and conservative treatment methods are ineffective, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), in particular in vitro fertilization (IVF), are used. However, in order to increase the effectiveness of the IVF program, certain preparation of the woman is necessary, since with ART the patient receives significant, sometimes long-term...

Children should grow up without drugs.
Dear moms and dads, understand one simple thing: that when a child is born, his stem cells provide his body with complete perfect information on how to grow, develop and be healthy.

Does a woman diagnosed with hepatitis have a chance to give birth to a healthy child? Or will the baby also have such a diagnosis?
Amniocentesis, that is, puncturing the bladder and collecting amniotic fluid, is not a necessary test for hepatitis C in the mother. It is prescribed for suspected congenital malformations, including genetic diseases. Hepatitis C affects the course of pregnancy and the fetus, however, does not provoke the formation of congenital malformations

Is herbal treatment safe for pregnant women?
How to strengthen a child's nasopharynx? To strengthen the nasopharynx, vitamin therapy, as well as inhalations and a visit to a steam bath, are suitable.

Bepanten!
There is no need to wash it off before feeding. He was lying right next to my pillow in the maternity hospital.
The bipanten with the pink line helps just brilliantly, and besides, the baby can then lubricate the diaper rash with it and everything heals before our eyes.
When I was feeding my child, there were such cracks, they healed with the help of bipanten in one day.
Listen, what kind of oil do you drink/drank before giving birth? Maybe I should drink too?

Apparently, everything depends on the qualifications of the doctor delivering the baby, and not on the oil))) I didn’t drink anything either the first or the second time. During the first birth it tore, because... the doctors wanted it quickly, in the second there was not a scratch, because they were lucky with the doctor)))

Hmm... I took something into account. I like to drink chamomile, hibiscus tea, and chamomile with mint... But you must admit, no matter what folk remedies are, they are suitable for prevention, but when the first symptoms of a cold appear (even a slight sore throat), I take Septolete lozenges. Anesthetizes and eliminates redness.
I have been involved in medicinal toxicology for 20 years. There is only one conclusion - it is better for pregnant women not to take anything extra. Modern food additives and dietary supplements are a mixture of extracts from medicinal herbs, i.e. a mixture of pure chemicals with high biological activity. Almost no one has studied their effect on the fetus in an experiment, guided by the opinion that there will be no harm from weed. I am not a herbalist, I am a toxicologist with extensive experience and I am categorically against experiments on myself. By the way, hop cones terribly inhibit spermatogenesis in experimental animals.

The only essential oils we sell are fir and tea tree. Are they suitable for baths and what is their effect?
Discussion
Lera, LenaR has already written to YOU correctly about tea tree oil. If you have combination skin or oily skin, you can add it to your facial tonic (5 drops per 250 ml, shake before each use and store the tonic in a dark place and preferably in a dark glass bottle). You can also take baths with this oil (in add 10 drops of tea tree oil to the filled bath and stir with your hand). This cleanses the skin of the body, but be sure to apply milk or body oil afterwards. Do not take baths often, because... after all, this oil dries out the skin (if the skin of the body is unclean, then once a week is enough, but once a month is enough). You can also simply apply a drop of oil to a pimple that appears on the body or face. Just be sure to check for allergies!
As for fir oil, it is a very rare oil (at least not sold everywhere). Fir oil is unique in its medicinal properties. It is obtained from pine needles and young shoots of fir. This valuable extract with high biological activity is used as a disinfectant, cosmetic and medicinal product.
Spraying fir oil indoors helps destroy pathogenic microbes and eliminates unpleasant odors. It is also a natural deodorant that reduces sweating. For women, this is an ideal cosmetic product that helps cope with wrinkles and sagging skin. The rejuvenating effect is especially noticeable after taking a hot bath with the addition of 3-5 drops of fir oil. But I don’t do it myself, because... no need yet :-)
In medicine, fir oil is widely known as a therapeutic drug for gynecological and urological diseases. The only contraindication for the use of fir oil is pregnancy.
That's all for now :-)
Good luck!
I don’t know about fir, but tea tree oil is a good natural antiseptic, i.e. anti-inflammatory effect. It can be applied to small pimples on the face, it helps a lot :)
And I am very grateful to all participants for the information about this medicine :).

Fir oil: what and why
Fir trees often decorate the backyards of country houses. This tall tree belongs to the conifer family, grows exclusively in environmentally friendly places and is a storehouse of fir oil.

Advantages and disadvantages of fir oil during pregnancy
Very often, fir oil is used as an effective remedy for the common cold. It is very important to understand that during pregnancy this method is CONTRAINDICATED! If you are in an interesting situation, the doctor will only allow external use of such a product, and not for every woman.
However, if your doctors have not found any contraindications to the external use of oil, you can use it as a natural antiseptic. If you cut yourself and there are no medications on hand, apply a small amount of oil to the wound to avoid inflammation or, even worse, suppuration of the damaged area.
If a pregnant girl suffers from toothache, fir oil (in the absence of contraindications) can serve as an anesthetic, because anesthesia is contraindicated in this situation. Soak a cotton swab in oil and apply it to the sore tooth for ten to twenty minutes before the procedure.
If you are afraid that after pregnancy the skin on your stomach will be covered in stretch marks, take care of this issue in advance. Add three drops of fir oil to the bath when you are going to bathe. Reminder: Consult your doctor before use.

This is one of the safest natural treatments for children aged 4 or 5 years and women during pregnancy.

Properties and inhalations with fir oil:
How to do inhalations correctly
Steam inhalations with fir essential oil can be easily performed at home. They only require 3 simple ingredients: natural fir, a warm towel and hot water (60-70 degrees). However, doctors do not recommend performing inhalations without a corresponding prescription from a specialist, because it is the doctor who can decide in what cases to prescribe inhalations, as well as how many times a day and for how long they need to be carried out to achieve a therapeutic effect.
Patients also need to know that in order to treat colds, as well as diseases of the respiratory system, it is necessary to inhale medicinal steam through the nose, while keeping the mouth closed. And in case of inflammation in the throat, the vapor is inhaled through the mouth so that the medicinal substances get directly to the source of inflammation. 
Required dosage fir oil is usually from 5 to 10 drops. They need to be dropped into a suitable container filled with hot water or boiling water. Then you need to lean over the water so that you can feel the hot steam emanating from it and cover your head with a towel. It is better to carry out inhalation in a sitting position with your eyes closed. Breathing should be even and deep so that the active medicinal substances penetrate as deeply as possible to the site of inflammation. Treatment time with healing steam: 6-10 minutes. After treatment is completed, it is strictly forbidden to go outside, make sudden movements or talk a lot. It is recommended to lie down for a few minutes. Frequency of fir inhalations: 1-2 times a day depending on the type of disease.
If you follow all these simple rules for inhalations, then, without a doubt, the recovery process will go much faster.How to do inhalations correctly:

Best Essential Oil Inhaler:
Essential little fir– a champion in penetrating abilities, which is why it is used more often than other essential oils in massage. For angina pectoris, for example, it is recommended to rub a few drops of oil under the chest, avoiding the area of the heart itself, in slow circular movements. During an exacerbation, you can repeat this procedure 3-4 times a day, but no more than two days in a row.
Generally range applications for fir oil very large - from treating a sore throat to restoring skin tone. Let's start with sore throat. The disease is extremely unpleasant, and even threatening with complications. Essential fir in this case, it’s much better than Lugol’s, such a favorite remedy of our mothers and grandmothers. For purulent sore throat, gargle with fir decoction, but fir oil is more effective. Application is quite simple: oil, 2-3 drops, is applied to the tonsils up to 5 times a day. Full recovery occurs on the second day.
Also fir essential oil It is also effective for the flu: 3-5 times a day you need to massage the body with an oil solution, for one session you need no more than 5 grams of essential oil. For colds and acute respiratory viral infections, it is enough to do cold inhalations - apply 1-2 drops of oil on a handkerchief, take 3-4 deep breaths several times a day. Actually, if you don’t want to waste time lying in bed with another cold, then fir essential oil– the best means of prevention. To do this, just drop a couple of drops into the aroma lamp. Daily use will not only prevent bacteria and viruses from multiplying in your home, but will also clear the air of harmful impurities, relieve nervous tension, and cope with stress.
For joint pain, neuritis, neuralgia, sciatica, myositis and other diseases of the nervous system, rubbing and massage of pain points are recommended. To do this, add 1-2 drops of fir essential oil to 10 grams of vegetable oil.
Surprising but regular use of fir oil can help restore vision after eye strain. You can also use fir oil to treat conjunctivitis: apply 1 drop of oil very carefully to the upper eyelid, making sure to close your eyes. You need to lie down without opening your eyes for about 20 minutes, then very carefully remove the remaining fir oil with a cotton pad soaked in either vegetable oil or any other base oil.
For liver and intestinal diseases fir essential oil It is recommended to use both internally and for rubbing. But it should be remembered that fir oil should absolutely not be used during pregnancy, stomach ulcers and kidney inflammation. For oral administration, make the following composition: 2-3 drops of fir oil are diluted in 1 tablespoon of honey. Can be consumed 2 times a day. For external use, mix a couple of drops fir essential oil with a carrier oil and rub the painful areas until the oil is completely absorbed. The ratio is approximately 1-2 drops of essential oil per 5 grams of base oil.
For frostbite, as well as for burns, fir oil is used as applications in a 1:1 ratio. A gauze bandage soaked in this composition is applied to the affected surface. It can also be used for abscesses, boils, weeping ulcers, bedsores and herpes.
For gum diseases, applications with small fir are also made, and in combination with lemon essential oil, you can not only improve your oral health, but also whiten your teeth. To do this, you need to squeeze out toothpaste onto your toothbrush, add one drop each of fir and lemon essential oils, and clean your mouth thoroughly.
A special topic, according to the women's magazine JustLady - use of fir oil in cosmetology. It remarkably rejuvenates, smooths out wrinkles, tightens pores and perfectly fights skin problems. In addition, it can be used to treat acne in both teenagers and adults. Actually, you don’t need to spend too much time for this, just drop 1-2 drops into any cream, mix and apply to your face. For excessive foot sweating, daily baths with fir essential oil are recommended. By the way, you can simultaneously solve the problem of leg dermatosis.
For scalp seborrhea and hair loss, use the following composition: take 2-3 drops of essential oil per 10 grams of baby shampoo, and thoroughly rinse the hair with this composition. Oil masks are also recommended. For 10 grams of grape seed oil, take 5 drops of fir essential oil, apply the resulting mixture to the hair, cover it with a plastic cap and wrap it in a terry towel. Wash off after 20 minutes.
In addition to all of the above, fir essential oil It is also used to deodorize the air; it not only fills the room with the aroma of a coniferous forest, but also repels blood-sucking insects. Which is very good when there are children in the house, since all the newfangled mosquito “killers” such as “Raptera” and “Mosquitol” contain chemical components that do not have a very good effect on children’s health. A essential little fir is a safe, environmentally friendly and harmless insect repellent.
