Natural Fever Remedies: Safe & Effective Relief

My husband's fever was rapidly rising to a 101.8. I read some of the responses on how to reduce a fever and I remembered my grandma using POTATOES. I sliced potatoes long ways and placed them on the soles of my husbands feet then put socks on. Placed some on his chest (without a shirt) and covered with a towel. I placed a cool wash cloth with some rubbing alcohol on his forehead and within the firt 30 mins, his fever was going down. After an hour it was below 100.Potatoes work well for reducing a fever.

My husband was fighting sudden high fewer after having had an inflammation in his knee for about two weeks. I massaged the oregano oil onto his soles and around his knee, he fell asleep, sweat a lot and the fewer dropped. He is feeling much better. What a great idea this remedy is. Thank you for the hint!

You take raw ginger put it in water and bring it to a boil. Use a big pot (the one you use for spagetti). After it boils for 15 to 20 min, take it off the heat. Run water in the tub, the water should be as warm as the person can take. Before the person gets in put the ginger root water in the tub. Mix it around. The whole body should be covered. Let them sit there for as long as they can take it. Once out. Put them in long pajamas, wrap them with a blanket, put them to bed, and put the other blankets on top. They'll start to sweat out the fever. Found this on www.herbalhealer.com website when my tots had high fevers.

When I was a child my mother used to give me Fenugreek tea. It doesn't taste very good, but she would give me a cup of this and two excederin and I would wake up a few hours later, with a broken fever. I had my appetite back and felt much better. This tea does come out through your pores, so it won't smell very nice. This tea worked for me, maybe it can work for someone else too.

I just used the potato remedy. It rose my fever .8 degrees.

What does MMS mean?

WORKED TEMPORARILY

1 drop rubbed on each foot worked temporarily on my 3-1/2 year old son. Brought the fever down 1 pt within 10 minutes. But after 15 minutes the fever went back up. Tried again and had no effect. Rubbing the oil around the back and outside of the ears did help the ear pain.

What does the rubbing alchol do? My daughter is 5 and has a temp of 103

My 4 year old son woke up with a HIGH fever, but otherwise was fine. I worried after pain relievers were not bringing it down. I went on the internet and typed in break fever and this site came up. I didn't have eggs so I couldn't use the egg white remedy, but I did have onions, ACV, and potatoes. I got socks and placed potatoes and chopped onion with a hint of garlic and placed them on his feet--he didn't like it. Then I got a washcloth soaked in ACV and placed it on his forehead. I checked his temperature every 15 minutes from 3am-6am. it went down from 102.7, droping .1 degrees to 1 degree at times. I am a believer in this and will now try this again. There is something to be said about folk remedies.

Remedy #5 has been a tradition when treating a fever since my great grandparents moved from Austria to the US in the 1920's.It has never failed!
