While you may prefer to use natural remedies to help with your cold symptoms, you may wonder if these are safe to take while pregnant. Fortunately, there are many natural remedies that are safe in pregnancy (and while breastfeeding) that may help reduce the intensity of the symptoms and support your recovery. Our Naturopathic Medicine team provides natural ways for expecting parents to prevent and manage getting sick during pregnancy. How do I know if I have a cold or a flu?

As the vibrant colours of summer make way for the crispness of fall, there's a natural shift in our focus towards nurturing our well-being. If you're seeking a harmonious transition into the new season, considering a visit to a Registered Acupuncturist could be a transformative choice.
