HOME REMEDIES FOR FEVER

Keeping the fever, instead of trying to eliminate it right away, will help you fight the virus that is making you sick. If you have a mild fever (up to 38 degrees), wrap yourself in a blanket and drink a cup of yarrow infusion (Achillea millefolium).

Prepare the infusion by putting 2 bags of yarrow or 2 teaspoons of dried yarrow 2 teaspoons in a cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Reheat the infusion until it is very hot, and drink slowly. Your temperature can increase or decrease one degree when you begin to sweat. If your temperature is initially between 38.5 and 39.5 drinks the infusion but dispenses with the blanket.

Check your temperature every 30 minutes through this process. Finally your temperature will drop. If your temperature is initially 40 degrees or more, or if you drink up to 40 degrees when you drink, consult a doctor.

Do not use this infusion with babies or children, or if you are pregnant.
