Safe flu treatment for pregnant women with garlic

Garlic wine not only helps treat flu but also prevents colds during the changing seasons.

I remember every time I sip a teaspoon of garlic wine when I have a cold or treat my child’s sore throat, I silently feel grateful and think of my mother, my second mother who lives hundreds of kilometers away from me. The mother who worked hard to raise my husband to adulthood. And when I was pregnant and waiting for the day of birth, I found the proverb “Only when you raise a child can you know the love of your parents” to be more meaningful.

Since I became a daughter-in-law in my mother's family, I have been cared for and looked after very attentively and wholeheartedly by my mother. Her gestures were filled with love from the day I became a daughter-in-law, through pregnancy, until I successfully gave birth, and even after that.

I still remember the day I became a daughter-in-law and was able to stay with my mother for a few days. When my husband and I went to Hai Phong for work, my mother's eyes were filled with tears and she looked sad. She prepared a bottle of garlic wine for me and told me to bring it with me.

Mom also said that garlic wine is very good and has many uses such as treating colds, sore throats, indigestion, etc. Mom said: "This is also the gift that grandma made for me when I became a daughter-in-law of the "Bui" family and now I give it to you."

I was very surprised because I did not fully understand the meaning of the garlic wine, but my mother said that garlic wine will help dispel colds and sore throats during pregnancy. When pregnant on days when the weather changes, just sip a little garlic wine to warm your stomach and the flu will not dare to come near.

Looking at the reddish brown garlic wine bottle, opening the lid, you can smell the aroma of wine mixed with the spicy aroma of garlic on the bridge of your nose and it's really pleasant. If you have the flu, smelling a little bit of the garlic wine flavor will help a bit.

Making garlic wine is also very easy but also requires a lot of steps. You have to take the time to peel off the outer layer of garlic, wash it, drain it, then put it in a jar and pour in wine in a ratio of 25 grams of garlic to 100 ml of wine.

It is worth noting that garlic wine is most effective when you leave it for 100 days. When the opaque white color of the wine slowly turns reddish brown, it can be used.

Don't hesitate to think that only pregnant women need garlic wine. Even if your baby has a sore throat, let him sip a little garlic wine for a few consecutive days and he will see that his cough is gone without needing medicine. Elderly people with arthritis also need to use garlic wine.

During the first 3 months of pregnancy, I also caught a cold because I was not careful. At that time, my throat started to hurt, I felt cold and very tired, my mood was lethargic, I didn't dare to take medicine because I was afraid it would affect the baby. Luckily, I remembered the jar of garlic wine my mother made every day and sipped a little.

At first, I was not used to it and found it hard to drink because of the pungent smell of garlic wine, but after drinking it, my throat no longer hurt and I only tasted the sweet aroma. I sipped it continuously in the following days and found that my cold had disappeared.

But you should also note that you should only drink garlic wine after a full meal because if any pregnant mother has a stomach ache, she must line her stomach before drinking.

Not only when I have a cold, I drink garlic wine, but also when the weather changes from rainy to sunny, I don't forget to sip some garlic wine before going to bed to prevent catching a cold. And after that cold, until I gave birth to Tep, I was no longer bothered by the flu.

My baby Tep is almost two years old, but he never has a sore throat because every day before going to bed, Tep drinks a little bit of garlic wine that his grandmother sent him.

I silently thank my mother because I know she has been through the pregnancy and child-rearing stages, so she understands and has prepared for me in advance. I am truly happy to be her daughter-in-law.

Tip: Garlic wine is easy to make and has many uses. So when you read my post, prepare a jar of garlic wine for your family.
