Fever is a frequent medical sign that describes an increase in internal body temperature to levels above normal. Fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body’s thermoregulatory set-point, usually by about 1–2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F). This is caused by an elevation in the thermoregulatory set-point, causing typical body temperature to rise. A feverish individual has a general feeling of cold despite an increased body temperature, and increases in heart rate, muscle tone and shivering, all of which are caused by the body’s attempts to counteract the newly perceived hypothermia and reach the new thermoregulatory set-point. Well, here are some things that you can do at home to help alleviate fever:

• Extract 1 teaspoon each juice of tulsi leaves and bel flowers. Add 1 teaspoon honey. Take twice every day.
• Tea made by boiling 1teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methidana), taken twice or thrice a day provides excellent remedy. (A little honey or lemon juice can be added to improve the flavour).
• Grind a few roots of the mango tree into a fine paste and apply on the palm and soles of the patients.
