I need some advice on herb while breastfeeding. I have a very bad cold/sore throat and possibly sinus infection. I'm not sure if it a sinus infection or just bad cold/virus. I am trying to avoid antibiotics b/c I don't want them to pass to my 4 mo. old.
What herbal remedies are safe for me and baby? I thought about goldenseal as an herbal antibiotic, I also use "throat coat" tea and home made tea with: horehound, mullein gota kola and ginger root."
Susun doesn't recommends use of goldenseal and never uses it internally. Very stressful on your body. Echinacea works just as well and is safe while breastfeeding. Use echinacea.... Mullein would be good, elderberries - some don't recommend using horehound while breastfeeding, but I never had any issues. You would want to see how your body feels about that.
blessings,
