Today we want to talk about two little-known but very effective natural methods to lower fever.
First of all it must be said that fever is not a disease but a manifestation of the body that reacts to a viral or bacterial attack. The organism, therefore, to hinder the reproduction of the virus or the bacterium, naturally raises the temperature. Indicatively, the fever follows an hourly cycle during the day, reaching its maximum point between 4 and 6 in the morning and between 16 and 18 in the afternoon.
It is recommended to lower the temperature when it exceeds 38 degrees. And this is to avoid compromising some natural processes in the body. So let’s see what are the natural and effective methods to lower it.
Terry socks in the freezer
The first is a quirky but effective grandmother’s remedy. This provides that, when the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, you will have to wear, for thirty minutes, terry socks left in the freezer for at least a couple of hours.
The fever will drop 1 or 2 degrees within an hour. We therefore suggest, especially at this time of flu spread, to always leave a pair of terry socks in the fridge, preferably white, so as to always have them available when needed. There are no contraindications. Nor are there any risks in using this remedy.
Water and vinegar
Another method consists in pouring into a basin, in equal quantities, water and white vinegar. We recommend using water at room temperature. Cold water, in fact, could annoy and cause unpleasant chills.
Wet a small cotton towel in the solution and wrap it around your calves. Leave a few minutes. Continue by dipping the towel back into the water and wrapping your wrists.
Repeat the operation for fifteen minutes with the same sequence. This type of sponging usually lowers the temperature by about 1 degree. It also relieves the sensation of compression typical of inflammatory states.
This is a technique that can also be used with children without taking any risks.
Still, drinking hot herbal teas with the addition of honey can help rehydrate the body. But not only. Also to give energy to react to the bacterial attack. Furthermore, it can be useful to diffuse eucalyptus essential oils into the air, through the use of humidifiers or diffusers. Or thyme, lavender or tea tree (tea tree oil).
However, it is always recommended to contact a doctor for the assessment of the state of health and the relative therapy.
We have therefore seen two little-known natural methods, but very effective, to lower fever.
